Flag successfully unset.

... and, in recognition of the 150th anniversary of Art 'Bright Eyes' Schopenhauer, the brightly coloured memorial armbands successfully distributed.

It is perhaps inevitably typical that a world (particularly ignoring the teachings of 2 of Art's greatest admirers: Nietzsche & Freud) which continues to feed itself a diet of yellow custard romantic idealism labels Schopenhauer's philosophy 'pessimistic'.

Are these the words of a pessimist?
