[QUOTE="JayJaySattva, post: 49653, member: 147"] Yes. I think that I was lacking ultimately was those kinds of unconscious beliefs that should be the result of evaluating life from the standpoint of philosophical pessimism. Compassion and respect towards my fellow sufferes and myself, obviously. [SIZE=7][I]“The conviction that the world, and therefore man too, is something which really ought not to exist is in fact calculated to instil in us indulgence towards one another: for what can be expected of beings placed in such a situation as we are? From this point of view one might indeed consider that the appropriate form of address between man and man ought to be, not monsieur, sir, but fellow sufferer, compagnon de misères. However strange this may sound it corresponds to the nature of the case, makes us see other men in a true light and reminds us of what are the most necessary of all things: tolerance, patience, forbearance and charity, which each of us needs and which each of us therefore owes.” [B]-Arthur Schopenhauer[/B][/I][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
