Also Schopenhauer:

”The nobler and more perfect a thing is, the later and slower is it in reaching maturity. Man reaches the maturity of his reasoning and mental faculties scarcely before he is eight-and-twenty; woman when she is eighteen; but hers is reason of very narrow limitations. This is why women remain children all their lives, for they always see only what is near at hand, cling to the present, take the appearance of a thing for reality, and prefer trifling matters to the most important.

It is by virtue of man’s reasoning powers that he does not live in the present only, like the brute, but observes and ponders over the past and future; and from this spring discretion, care, and that anxiety which we so frequently notice in people. The advantages, as well as the disadvantages, that this entails, make woman, in consequence of her weaker reasoning powers, less of a partaker in them. Moreover, she is intellectually short-sighted, for although her intuitive understanding quickly perceives what is near to her, on the other hand her circle of vision is limited and does not embrace anything that is remote; hence everything that is absent or past, or in the future, affects women in a less degree than men. This is why they have greater inclination for extravagance, which sometimes borders on madness. Women in their hearts think that men are intended to earn money so that they may spend it, if possible during their husband’s lifetime, but at any rate after his death.

Women are . . . big children all their life--a kind of intermediary stage between the child and the full-grown man.”

Schopenhauer’s wager

Arthur Schopenhauer, the great pessimist philosopher, lived the last 30 years of his life in two rooms of a boarding house alone but for a dog called Atma (an Indian word meaning world-soul). Most nights he dined at the Englischer Hof, and every night he dined there he put a gold coin in front of him at the start of the meal and replaced it once he had finished.

Eventually a waiter asked him why he did it. He answered that it was a wager with himself. He said that he would drop the coin into the poor box in the church if the English officers who dined there ever talked of anything but horses, women, or dogs.

I sometimes think that you’re what you think people think you are. It’s impossible to isolate yourself from what you think the opinion of the other person is of you. We are social animals. Obtaining the power to not give the slightest fuck about what the other person thinks must be something of divinity. I have met only a few who has achieved that. Hope to achieve it one day myself.
