Life is fundamentally a struggle for existence from "summary" of The Wisdom of Life by Arthur Schopenhauer
Life is a constant battle, a struggle for existence. From the moment we are born, we are faced with challenges and obstacles that we must overcome in order to survive. This struggle is not limited to physical threats, but extends to all aspects of life - emotional, psychological, and social. We must fight against sickness, against hunger, against poverty. We must compete with others for resources, for opportunities, for love. We must constantly adapt and evolve in order to stay ahead of the game, to stay alive. This struggle is relentless, unforgiving, and unending. But it is also what gives life its meaning, its purpose. Without struggle, there can be no growth, no progress. It is through facing adversity that we learn, that we grow stronger, that we become better versions of ourselves. In this sense, life is like a battlefield, and we are all warriors fighting for survival. We must be brave, we must be resilient, we must be resourceful. We must never give up, never surrender. We must always keep fighting, keep striving, keep pushing forward. And in the end, it is this struggle that defines us, that shapes us, that makes us who we are. It is what gives our lives meaning, what gives us purpose. It is what makes us truly alive.
