He who sinks his teeth into Stoicism, the French moralists, Eastern philosophy, and especially Schopenhauer, should pay only one homage to his buried humanity: remain silent and never, ever expose the learned philosophy to an ordinary human being. It is perfectly possible to achieve the annulment of feeling and detachment, complete indifference to the outside world; but one has to be a scoundrel not to experience insurmountable remorse after inoculating such philosophies into an innocent mind. They have the power to devastate after causing an atrocious shock for which there is no cure and no way back. The vast majority of people are not ready and do not deserve to have their innocence destroyed by the weight of such thoughts.
