Document Summary
Arthur schopenhauer (1851), on the sufferings of the world . The enormous amount of pain that abounds everywhere in the world . We are like lambs in a field, disporting themselves under the eye of the butcher, who chooses out first one and then another for his prey. So it is that in our good days we are all unconscious of the evil fate(not literal meaning, just an expression) may have presently in store for us sickness, poverty, mutilation, loss of sight or reason . A paradise of luxury and ease, where every jack obtained his jill , we"d either become. Swollen with arrogance, which leads to folly, even madness, or we"d become horribly bored. In early youth, as we contemplate our coming life, we are like children in a theatre before the curtain is raised, sitting there in high spirits and eagerly waiting for the play to begin.
