Finished Schopenhauer's Essays and Aphorisms. Such a fantastic book. His philosophy has influenced me a lot since last March when I started to study his work. I especially like his essay On the Suffering of the World. In the last paragraph he writes that: "one might indeed consider that the appropriate form of address between man and man ought to be, not monsieur, sir, but fellow sufferer. However strange this may sound it corresponds to the nature of the case, makes us see other men in a true light and reminds us of what are the most necessary of all things: tolerance, patience, forbearance and charity, which each of us needs and which each of us therefore owes."
Have to go to work tomorrow. I hate my current job, but I hate hunger even more.
