Why Desire Is the Root of Suffering - Schopenhauer
Update: 2025-12-20
Description
In this reflective episode, we explore a question many people quietly carry: why does emptiness remain even after achieving everything we thought we wanted?
This teaching dives into the nature of human desire and reveals why the endless pursuit of more, more success, more pleasure, more validation often leads not to fulfillment, but to deeper dissatisfaction.
Schopenhauer understood that desire is never fully satisfied. Once one goal is reached, another immediately takes its place, trapping us in a cycle of longing and suffering.
Through this lens, you’ll uncover the hidden mechanics behind wanting, why achievement alone cannot bring lasting peace, and what it truly means to step out of the loop of endless craving.
This episode invites you to question the promises of desire and discover a quieter, deeper form of freedom that doesn’t depend on having more, but on understanding less attachment.
