I am truly interested in hearing yout thoughts and opinions on this. Some day, soon, I believe that Science and reality, will be the way we believe, grow up and live, and that religion will be treated as an ancient, primitive form of belief. What do you think, and why? I understand and accept anyones religious belief, but this question isnt really for you. Dont confuse spirituality and religion. Thanks all.

not to sound like a pessimist but civilization is going to collapse, and probably very soon.
when i look at pictures of megalopolyses i see fascinating structures that have defied gravity that rise out the earth.
i feel like even though we advocate our planet’s destruction we are also building great habitats for a new form of ecosystem that will gradually take over our cities as we perish.
could this be true?
what kind of plants and animals will live in them

Schopenhauer believed reality is based on our will. Primordial will is the cause to self-preservation. Therefore, reality is based on our will to live. The blind impulse to life is the cause impelling the will to display itself in a multiplicity of natural beings, with the purpose of becoming conscious. Hence this impulse makes its appearance in natural bodies in the form of mechanical forces — in plants as vegetative life, in animals as instinct. Finally, by constructing the brain, the will attains consciousness in man. Once consciousness is attained, knowledge appears as the representation of the world.
Schopenhauer believed if reality is the blind will to live, it is the reason life is painful misery. He believed everything is will. Since our will to live is blind, the whole world is miserable. The sole purpose in life is to deny the will to live, and the destruction of the body.
Personally I absolutely agree with him.
