The video is on point.  I never read Pascal, but I can confirm that it was a great consolation to me to read Schopenhauer.  Like the guy says in the above video, sometimes we may think there is something terribly wrong with us in particular, especially if we are surrounded by phony liars who look at us like we are crazy when we bring up the general "horror" of existence. 

So, contrary to what people say, the pessimist is often more cheerful, whereas the optimist is suicidal.
