Life as Suffering: Basically, life is not worth living. In addition, it rushes inexorably towards death. Also, the knowledge does not continue to help - quite the contrary: The genius suffers most...
By pity the care for other beings - including animals (see "flora & fauna" etc. - d.48) becomes our own motif... Redemption is the negation of the will - as in asceticism, which may come to the extinction of the will and thus to a state of ecstasy. In addition, the music is a kind of reflection of the will in itself. So it is the deepest essence... (Rhine Post, 04.01.2010)

Interpretation of dali48
Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 – 1860) was a German philosopher known for his pessimism and philosophical clarity. At age 25, he published... Schopenhauer's most influential work, The World as Will and Representation, claimed that the world is fundamentally what humans recognize in themselves as their will. His analysis of will led him to the conclusion that emotional, physical, and sexual desires... Schopenhauer's metaphysical analysis of will, his views on human motivation and desire, and his aphoristic writing style influenced many well-known thinkers, including... However, only five students turned up to Schopenhauer's lectures, and he dropped out of academia. A late essay, On University Philosophy, expressed his resentment towards the work conducted in academies... In 1821, he fell in love with nineteen-year old opera singer, Caroline Richter (called Medon), and had a relationship with her for several years. He discarded marriage plans, however, writing... In 1831, a cholera epidemic broke out in Berlin and Schopenhauer left the city. Schopenhauer settled permanently in Frankfurt in 1833, where he remained for the next twenty-seven years... Schopenhauer had a robust constitution, but in 1860 his health began to deteriorate. He died of heart failure on 21 September 1860, while sitting on his couch with his cat at home. He was 72. A key focus of Schopenhauer was his investigation of individual motivation. Before Schopenhauer, Hegel had popularized the concept of Zeitgeist...
Music, for Schopenhauer, was the purest form of art because it was the one that depicted the will itself without it appearing as subject to the Principle of Sufficient Grounds. - These ideas foreshadowed the discovery of evolution, Freud's concepts of the libido and the unconscious mind, and evolutionary psychology in general. As a consequence of his monistic philosophy, Schopenhauer was very concerned about the welfare of animals. - These ideas foreshadowed the discovery of evolution, Freud's concepts of the libido and the unconscious mind, and evolutionary psychology in general... As a consequence of his monistic philosophy, Schopenhauer was very concerned about the welfare of animals. - For this reason, he claimed that a good person would have sympathy for animals, who are our fellow sufferers. -
Compassion for animals (see e.g. St. Francis, etc. - d.48) is intimately associated with goodness of character, and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to living creatures cannot be a good man. - Many of the stories that surround the life of St. Francis deal with his love for animals. Perhaps the most famous incident that illustrates the Saint's humility towards nature is recounted in the "Fioretti" ("Little Flowers"), a collection of legends and folklore that sprang up after the Saint's death. It is said that, one day, while Francis was travelling with some companions, they happened upon a place in the road where birds filled the trees on either side. Francis told his companions "wait for me while I go to preach to my sisters the birds." The birds surrounded him, intrigued by the power of his voice, and not one of them flew away... In 1841, he praised the establishment, in London, of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and also the Animals' Friends Society in Philadelphia... The Upanishads was a great source of inspiration to Schopenhauer, and writing about them he said...
Schopenhauer noted a correspondence between his doctrines and the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism. -
Buddhist philosopher Nishitani Keiji, however, sought to distance Buddhism from Schopenhauer...
The argument that Buddhism affected Schopenhauer’s philosophy more than any other Dharmic faith loses more credence when viewed in light of the fact that... Schopenhauer said he was influenced by the Upanishads, Immanuel Kant and Plato. References to Eastern philosophy and religion appear frequently in Schopenhauer's writing... Among Schopenhauer's other influences were: Shakespeare, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, John Locke, Baruch Spinoza, Matthias Claudius, George Berkeley, David Hume, and René Descartes... We usually are not aware of the breathing of our lungs or the beating of our heart unless somehow our attention is called to them. Our ability to control either is limited. Our kidneys command our attention on their schedule... Schopenhauer has had a massive influence upon later thinkers, though more so in the arts (especially literature and music) and psychology than in philosophy... (Wikipedia)

Healthiness and Disease... by dali48 on HP
03.07.2012 - Interpretation of dali48
Health is the level of functional or metabolic efficiency of a living being. In humans, it is the general condition of a person's mind, body and spirit, usually meaning to be free from illness, injury or pain (as in "good health" or "healthy"). The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health... The maintenance and promotion of health is achieved through different combination of physical, mental, and social well-being, together sometimes referred to as the "health triangle". The WHO's 1986 Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion further stated that health... Systematic activities to prevent or cure health problems and promote good health in humans are undertaken by health care providers. Applications with regard to animal health are covered by the veterinary sciences... More specifically, key factors that have been found to influence whether people are healthy or unhealthy include:
Income and social status - Social support networks - Education and literacy - Employment/working conditions - Social environments - Physical environments - Personal health practices and coping skills - Healthy child development - Biology and genetics - Health care services - Gender - Culture...
Our target is 1 billion more people enjoying better health and well-being by 2023. ... Strengthen governance and policies to make healthy choices accessible and ...
Interpretation of dali48
A disease is an abnormal condition affecting the body of an organism. It is often construed to be a medical condition associated with specific symptoms and signs. It may be caused by external factors...
Diseases usually affect people not only physically, but also emotionally, as contracting and living with many diseases can alter one's perspective on life, and their personality...
Death due to disease is called death by natural causes. There are four main types of disease: pathogenic disease, deficiency disease, hereditary disease, and physiological disease...
Diseases can also be classified as communicable and non-communicable disease...
Many diseases and disorders can be prevented through a variety of means. These include sanitation, proper nutrition, adequate exercise, vaccinations, and other self-care and public health measures... Some diseases are used as metaphors for social ills: "Cancer" is a common description for anything that is endemic and destructive in society - such as poverty, injustice, or racism... (Wikipedia)

Population Explosion... by dali48 on HP
31.01.2008 - Interpretation of dali48
The disease (see e.g. Aids, etc. - d.48) will come from monkeys, drugs and sex. It will destroy the people from the inside, makes a simple disease... They will then face a choice whether to continue the old path of destruction - or whether they return to the philosophy of the Earth and a simpler existence... (Stalking Wolf, Apache Indian, 1920)
There are changes in the seasons and weather (to my astonishment I found it in the immediate area - wrote it down in my diary - and also meditated about it, etc. - d.48)...
Population explosion in Asia (2015): Bombay (Mumbai) at about 25 million, Karachi, Calcutta, Delhi, Dhaka, Shanghai, Beijing, Manila, Jakarta at about 15 million, etc. (Financial Times, 19.06.2001)
24.04.2023 — 24 April 2023 - China will soon cede its long-held status as the world's most populous country. By the end of this month, India's population .
The Earth's climate is changing faster and stronger than previously feared... (Spiegel, 16.07.2001)
However, 2023 has already seen 38 days with global average temperatures above 1.5°C by 12 September—more than any other year—and the total may continue to rise. Even more striking are the enormous margins by which 2023 conditions are exceeding past extremes (figure 1).vor 3 Tagen
As consequences: desertification, water scarcity, ozone holes, species extinction, deforestation, etc. (P. Berndt, Prophecies)
Interpretation of dali48
Overpopulation is a generally undesirable condition where an organism's numbers exceed the carrying capacity of its habitat. The term often refers to the relationship between the human population and its environment... The population has been growing continuously since the end of the Black Death, around the year 1400, although the most significant increase has been in the last 50 years, mainly due to...
However, some believe that waste and over-consumption, especially by wealthy nations, is putting more strain on the environment than overpopulation... Limiting birth rates through legal regulations, educating people about family planning, increasing access to birth control and contraception, and extraterrestrial settlement... China and other nations already have regulations limiting the birth rate, with China using the one child policy. Contraception is a response to the fact... Archaeological evidence indicates that the death of around 90% of the Native American population of the New World was caused by Old World diseases such as... In 2006, WWF's "Living Planet Report" stated that in order for all humans to live with the current consumption patterns of Europeans, we would be spending three times more than what the planet can renew... There is a need to develop renewable energy resources. Humans everywhere must understand that rapid population growth damages the Earth's resources and diminishes human well-being"... A large expansion of agriculture to provide growing populations with improved diets is likely to lead to further deforestation, loss of species, soil erosion, and pollution...
Fresh water supplies, on which agriculture depends, are running low worldwide. This water crisis is only expected to worsen as the population increases...
And just 6 countries – Argentina, Australia, Canada, France, Thailand and the USA – supply 90% of grain exports (what about Ukraine etc. - d.48)...
The number of people who are overweight has surpassed the number who are undernourished...
As of 2008, the price of grain has increased due to more farming used in bio-fuels (ban bio-fuels as long as there is too much hunger & too high prices etc. - d.48), world oil prices at over $100 a barrel, global population growth, climate change, loss of agricultural land... Food riots have recently taken place in many countries across the world. An epidemic of stem rust on wheat caused by race Ug99 is currently spreading across Africa and into Asia... It is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain food security in a world beset by a confluence of "peak" phenomena, namely peak oil, peak water, peak phosphorus, peak grain and peak fish... Hunger and malnutrition kill nearly 6 million children a year, and more people are malnourished in sub-Saharan Africa this decade than in the 1990s, according to a report released by... Water deficits, which are already spurring heavy grain imports in numerous smaller countries, may soon do the same in larger countries, such as China or India, if technology is not used...
Desalination is also considered a viable and effective solution to the problem of water shortages (what about desalination of sea-water since ca. 2000 etc. - d.48)...
In his 1992 book Earth in the Balance, Al Gore wrote, ... "it ought to be possible to establish a coordinated global program to accomplish the strategic goal of completely eliminating the internal combustion engine (see e-cars, etc. - d.48)...

Interpretation of dali48
Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans since the late 19th century, and its projected continuation...
An increase in global temperature will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount and pattern of precipitation, as well as cause a probable expansion of subtropical deserts...
Warming is expected to be strongest in the Arctic and would be associated with... It is calculated that, with high statistical confidence, certain weather events, such as the heat waves in Texas and the 2003 European heat wave, would not have occurred without global warming...
These temperatures are expected to exacerbate the hydro-logical cycle, with more intense droughts and floods. The effect on hurricane activity is less certain (see The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which revised its forecast for the year, now predicts an above-normal season with 14 to 21 named storms (previously from 12 to 17), including six to 11 hurricanes and two to five major hurricanes.vor 4 Tagen... in 2023 etc. - d.48)...
