>I can't get utube. I have dial up.
Yeah, in the secod half of each month my download speed gets tapered, so youtube is iffy then.
>Pls remember me cuz i am far too drawn into these words.
They're OK?? He sings about pretty bleak stuff in an anarchic kind of way, but then so many writers were depressed by our standards.
I was reading about Schopenhauer
>On an excursion to the countryside a male friend suggests they should try to meet some women. Schopenhauer quashes the plan, arguing that 'life is so short, questionable and evanescent that it is not worth the trouble of major effort'.
Goethe suggests to him
>If you wish to draw pleasure out of life, you must attach value to the world.
Schopenhauer's response was
>Better to accept men for what they are than to take them for what they are not
and later (which made me laugh)
>What disturbs and renders unhappy the age of youth is the hunt for happiness on the firm foundation that it must be met with in life. From this arises the constantly deluded hope and so also dissatisfaction. Deceptive images of a vague happiness of our dreams hover before us in capriciously selected shapes and we search in vain for the original. Much would have been gained if through timely advice and instruction young people could have had eradicated from their minds the erroneous notion that the world had a great deal to offer them.
