Germany narrated by Charlton Heston Schopenhauer emphasized the dark aspects of existence. Will is a unitary, blind, irrational force underlying all nature and expressing itself throughout it. This will is a single metaphysical reality, and each person's experience is a sort of window into it. Our true motives for action are often hidden from us because our own will is mostly hidden. Will, not reason, is the controlling force within us.
New desires replace any satisfied ones, so no final or lasting happiness is possible.
Our will to live - is doomed ultimately to fail, and we die. There is no overall end or purpose of life, though art offers an escape from an otherwise painful existence. Inc.
