Philosophy of life, Arthur Schopenhauer

Look at absurdity of desire and its tendency to acquire material things, as stupid people think that they are able to satisfie their desires by collecting money and wealth, and they impose that the rich man is able to satisfie all of his desires. A person must understand the purposes of life, people tend to collect money a thousand times more than they tend to get culture, though real happiness in getting culture. So the man who is without mental abilities, he doesn't know, how to spend his spare time, so he rushes to satisfie his desires, but to no avail, they are insatiable desires, until boredom defeats him, boredom, the goddess of revenge on riches and lazies. Dominance of mind upon desire enables us to develop, because knowledge modifies desire and reduces its severity. Resorting to deterministic philosophy helps us in reduction and modification of severity of our desires, because inevitable philosophy recognizes that everything is the result of its precedents. Our happiness depends upon the knowledge in our mind and not on the money in our pockets. The happiness of man isn't in how people appreciate him. How people view a person isn't important, because everybody in the end stands alone. Happiness that we derive from ourselves is greater than happiness that we derive from people around us. Aristotle was right when he said " If you want to be happy, you should have self-sufficiency".
