  • Why Life Is Suffering | Schopenhauer on Failure, Desire, and Happiness
    Jan 6 2026

    What if suffering is not a mistake, but the very nature of life?
    What if failure, dissatisfaction, and restlessness are not exceptions — but the rule?
    Arthur Schopenhauer had a disturbing answer.

    In this episode of The Failure Chronicles Podcast, I explore a fictional yet deeply philosophical conversation with Arthur Schopenhauer, one of the most uncompromising thinkers in the history of philosophy.

    Schopenhauer believed that human suffering is rooted in endless desire — a blind, irrational force he called the Will.
    No matter how much we achieve, want, or succeed, satisfaction never lasts.

    In this conversation, we discuss:

    · Why life, according to Schopenhauer, is fundamentally suffering

    · The concept of the blind will explained in simple terms

    · Failure as a universal human experience

    · Why happiness is often an illusion

    · Inner vs. outer happiness

    · Can renunciation and simplicity reduce suffering?

    This Episode is not meant to motivate you.
    It is meant to help you see reality more clearly.

    If you are interested in philosophy, meaning, failure, and the darker truths of human existence, this episode is for you.
