The will of reproduction , Arthur Schopenhauer

You can defeat death by reproduction , as every organism hurries to sacrifice himself for reproduction when it reaches puberty , like the spider that is eaten by its female as soon as he fertilized it , and the wasp that devotes his life to offspring will never see him , and human that carries heavy burden to feed his children , to wear them , to teach them and to educate them since the offspring is the ultimate purpose of every being , and the reproduction is the most powerful instinct and the only way to allow the will to defeat death . And the will to ensure defeating of death, it decided not to place the will of reproduction under the control of mind, so even philosophers reproduced and gave birth to children. The will shows itself in reproduction independent of knowledge. And it works in a blind way, so the reproductive organs are considered the center of will while the center of knowledge is brain. The reproductive organs are the foundation of life because they ensure endless life, for that Hindus and Greece worshiped it. It is the central point for all acts and behaviors. It is stronger than all the veils and masks that are thrown at it. It is the cause of war and the purpose of peace. We see her sitting on her throne in the perfection of her power ، look at us from her highness with scorn, sarcasm and laughter at restrictions that people hold to restrict, suppress and imprison her. Love is nothing but a trick prepared by nature to fulfill its purposes. So, marriage is considered a system for keeping species and all the problems of marriage are caused by thinking that marriage is a way to get pleasure. An individual is only a tool used by species for survival. Nature doesn't care about the individual as long as the species persist. The important thing for nature is survival of species, so it doesn't care about the fate of the individual. Therefore, once a person ends his job, which is reproduction, his physical and reproductive powers begin to subside and debilitate. Also, debilitation of genital force is a sign of death. That appears very clearly in the vermin and insects so, once these insects perform their sexual job they begin to hurry to death. Also abstention of insects from procreation prolongs its life. So, thus the succession of death and birth represents the heartbeat for the species. We see in the light of above a new inevitable meaning of determinism, as spinoza said " lf a stone was thrown in the air had a realization, it would think that it was moving at its will. But the free will is only an illusion in the stone and in the human. The human thinks that he possesses a free will and thinks he is able to begin a new direction in the life and become another person but the experiment leads him to admit that he isn't free and he is subject to the rule of necessity. And he can't change his behavior, despite his resolve, and he must have the same morals that he try to change it, and he have to play the role that assigned to him to the end.
