Nietzsche isn’t that deep or weird. Philosophy is just good common sense.
There are no facts, only interpretations.
Every scientist and fanatic would do good to remember this.
Without music, life would be a mistake.
Music is probably our greatest creation.
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
Being an individual and speaking your mind can make you very unpopular. But it is very fulfilling to know that you are true to yourself.
In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play.
I always want to play.
I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.
What insecurities does a superbeing have that they demand to be worshipped and believed all the time? That is weird and irrational. Surely a superbeing does not possess those weaknesses and traits? They cannot be that insecure or vengeful? No – just a human construct straight out of our psyche.

I’m enjoying hunting these out!
Nietzsche is sometimes obscure but he’s rarely wrong … a philosopher for all time. Even his superman stuff is acceptable if you consider the potential of cultural evolution, which in humans has replaced the physical version. Jim Morrison was a big fan – ‘Riders On the Storm’ echoes Nietzschean ideas in a big way.
I like him but only in small doses. I did try to read Thus Spake Zarathustra and found it heavy going.
Me too …
what a mind though!
