- In this video we will talk about how to find yourself from the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. Friedrich Nietzsche was one of the biggest precursors of existentialism. According to him, finding yourself is one of the most fundamental endeavors of your life.
So with that in mind, here are four steps, inspired by the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, which you can take from, to help you get closer to finding yourself and becoming who you truly want to become -
01. Don’t follow the herd mentality
02. Embrace the difficulty of self-discovery
03. Say yes to what gives you meaning
04. Find your true values
We hope you enjoyed watching the video and hope this video helps you get closer to finding yourself and becoming who you truly want to become.
Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher, poet, essayist, and cultural critic. He is considered to be one of the most daring and greatest thinkers of all time. His writings on truth, morality, language, aesthetics, cultural theory, history, nihilism, power, consciousness, and the meaning of existence have exerted an enormous influence on Western philosophy and intellectual history. He was one of the biggest precursors of existentialism, which emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent, determining their own development through acts of will. By his famous words “God is dead!”, Nietzsche moved the focus of philosophy from metaphysics to the material world and to the individual as a responsible person for his own life. Friedrich Nietzsche wrote several books like The Birth of a Tragedy, Human, All Too Human, The Dawn, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, Twilight of the Idols, The Will to Power, The Antichrist, and many more. His teachings have shaped the lives of many people; from psychologists to poets, dancers to social revolutionaries.

In which book does Nietzsche talk about all this?
Friedrich Nietzsche says “No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself”.
That was actually Rudyard Kipling, it's commonly misattributed to Nietzsche. Nice video though.
Sometimes when you lose yourself you end up in the middle of nowhere, but in the middle of nowhere you often find yourself
But with great consequences and regrets
I can understand ur concept
@@ralphlouis2705 but those regrets are lessons learned
I sense that you either mean "now here" or "no where."

I dont understand it. 1st what do you mean by "yourself"
You have the I and the myself. And the myself is beeing created by everything around you what you then on terms identify with the I or me. So to be or not to be. Is not to be yourself by not making it personal emotional identification. When the sun goes down you dont want it to go down because you identify good emotions on it just going down. If you see it a it will go down you dont identify but really can see the beauty of it. So stop trying to be. Just observe and investigate without beeing de yourself only then I think you can really control the balance
@@alex_poly1147 put the pipe down and pump the brakes homeboi.,you just went on a complete and utter turd of a ramble with no real definition.,okay now.

The thing I love most about Nietzsche's philosophy is that it revolves around being a better person for yourself. Fundamentally, that's the one thing in this life worth living for.

Then there are all those people in pain, in prisons that are never allowed to forget. That is super real torture being conducted by our own governments that are addicted to all that money they are reaping from our pains, over and over and over again.

@@CidersAndReligiousCrusades
Billions of people think there is a point in living for today and THEY are the ones that believe in death .
This world teaches that time exists. It might as well exist while here. The spinning earth makes it feel like there is such a thing as time because it is light and then it is dark. So how is anyone supposed to teach that this is a holographic existence where we are holograms/images always immersed within simultaneous time which is a holodeck? I saw a graph of simultaneous time in the book "The Quantum World" written by the physicist Kenneth Ford.
Ever read the Seth books? written by Jane Roberts? Or the book Hands of Light written by the physicist Barbara Brennan?
SO IF I CAN FORGET SOMETHING OR JUST LET IT GO DOES THAT MEAN ITS LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED ??? BECAUSE IF SO I WOULD LIKE TO THROW AWAY A COUPLE OF THINGS AND JUST KEEP GETTING UP YOU KNOW!!
We have art so that we shall not die of reality.

The problem with the" dont follow the herd mentality" is that everyone feels they dont follow the herd.
Such persons arent ready to be free. Thats why lot of people end up being the herd.
To correct a problem u hv to first identity there's a proble.
I don’t work. And live frugally on my own
This is true. I speak a lot about not following the crowd online, but irl, I put on a facade personality in order to avoid any special attention. So in a way, I'm submitting to societies expectations.
Not following the herd comes at a high price. Pain, humiliation, constant bullying, criticism. If you haven’t gone through all of this for your entire life, then you are part of the herd.
@@di3486 like the video said, suffering is part of life. All of that stuff is negative but in the long run will build a strong mentality. People can claim to not follow the herd, but they might still have subconsciously adobted certain social norms.
Not following herd mentality is a great first point. Just because it’s mainstream, doesn’t make it right 👌🏽
I'd go so far as to say if it's main stream, it's almost certainly not right...it often offers protection at the expense of innovation, self-actualization

I'm so thankful to have found this at 18. I'm tired of being a sheep, I want to be free. I want to be the authentic version of me I lost as a child when the world told me who I should be.
Live your life u’re free
You lost your version of you as a child? How is that possible if you were a child? So you want to go back when you were a child? Seems like an over dramatic statement..for an 18 yo "kid".
@@hmax1591 Chill out man you're looking to deep into it. I just miss a time when I felt like the most authentic version of myself.
I am equally lucky at 64. At least I would depart from this earth enlightened.
there is no individual there at all. There is only a certain gathering of knowledge, which is thought, but no individuality there. The knowledge you have of things is all that you are capable of experiencing. Without knowledge, no experience of any kind is possible. You cannot separate experience and knowledge. The self is nothing sacred. It is the totality of your knowledge and you are, unfortunately, stuck with it.
It's about learning to be yourself, do what makes you happy, follow your heart's desire, don't let others to control/manipulate you.

In short, seek authenticity and self-love through self-discipline.
I'm going to make this my mantra.
"Self-discipline" is a term one must be very careful about. If it is an imposed "value" from our past, it can be highly destructive, turning life into a race on a hamster wheel, a race we can only lose. It can also carry with it much shame from our past, as, should we fail at something, it must be because we were not sufficiently self-disciplined. It can then become a rationale for seeking solace in self-destructive behaviour, the very opposite of self-disciplined behaviour. I think the focus needs to be on a truly healthy and positive sense of self-love. With that, self-discipline can become a powerful tool for helping us to achieve what we decide we want for ourselves, to become the better person we need to be.
@@Grimenoughtomaketherobotcry THIS IS THE FUCKING TRUTH!

Love for oneself is what drove Hitler and everyone else.
I think the reason why people admire a genius is not because of their high intelligence or talents, it really is about that they are audacious enough to embrace their dreams without caring what others think about and whoever criticized them. They might not be appreciated in their times but like many famous mathematicians and scientists, they would be remembered after they have had their day.
Or they don't care whether they are remembered or not.
Or they don't care whether they are remembered or not.
And artists and philosophers...
No I just admire geniuses for their effortless intelligence
Genius is not effortless. To be a genius you are both blessed with intelligence and obsessed with using it to it's full potential.
This is so deep. I’m I the only one feeling overwhelmed and grateful for this knowledge? Took a mental day off and found this. The best thing that happened to me all day. ❤️
Extreme individualism!.Require a very strong mind,to be like that.Not necessary. Accept Social rules. Act with flexibility. You need acceptance,of your near and dear.Lead a normal life.
Ugh I had so much conviction and also it helped me soooo much. I wrote a lot down and I know it will help me.
I have been spending days now reseaching about phychology.
This knowlege is very interesting.
I swear
Thank you. This journey has been so hard. I moved out of my parents place about a year ago and I found myself to be so alone. Then I depended so much on my boyfriend at the time for his company so that I wouldn’t feel so lonely. But when he broke up with me I was absolutely crushed and alone once again. I had to face my loneliness and honestly, I’m okay. I’m surviving. Studying and listening to different ideas about philosophy has helped me so much. I deleted my social media apps and it feels so liberating. I realized that I don’t care about the people I used go to high school with anyway. I don’t care about other people’s expectations. I’m Still struggling with my family and what they think of me, but being alone just lifts so much weight sometimes and makes you see things more clearly.
Sounds like your journey keeps getting better.Keep your perspective positive and maintain your authenticity. Your parents love and care about you but the best journeys are often traveled alone.
Hey Dulce. I resonate with you so much. We are experiencing same paths we have to over come towards to truly be who we are. To be aware of ourselves. Much love
Well, so far it seems that you showed yourself that you can stand on your feet by yourself, with your own ideas about. And as time goes by, your family will ultimately see this, and will stop judging you. Just make sure youre are doing it for you, not trying to prove anything to anyone.
It's always within , and it's usually not what you've been taught
!!!
this is gonna sound kinda stupid but finding this idea at this moment has honestly changed my whole mind set. For the past 4 or so months i've been unknowingly struggling mentally and didn't even realise how lost i truly was. I acted in ways that i know i didnt want to yet i still did and have been going through life not being sober. Although there have been good times there have been many times where i've never felt so alone yet i have some of the best people around me. It's funny because my whole mind feels lifted and refreshed after looking into these philosophies... live life in the present and be greatful for everything thats happened despite the ugliness .. cheers to a great 2021 everyone (if anyone even sees this lol)
It's never an accident
i hope it will change my mindset as well, because i feel totally lost and "out of myself". Your words gave me courage...
Dont ever think its stupid, a journey of self discovery isnt easy and can be lonely as hell but you can sleep well knowing youre living your best life with your best mindset
You're learning. We all still are.
Yeah Jess! 🖤

I left the herd about 40 years ago…
What they often don’t mention, is leaving the herd, is a lifelong endeavor.
I’m 61 years old now and I must admit… as difficult as some of the self actualization can be… the lessons are a true gift… one you’ll never want to return.
Pay attention. 🙏🏻
Everyone is "the herd" to someone. Everyone is in rebellion against someone's values.
Every one have their own believe and dream ,
Disagree.
For some it starts when your a child or a teenager. You rebel against your parents wishes/values.
I'm a Big Dylan fan too!

It's never true rebellion unless you know yourself, the true self. Rebellion for rebellions sake is infantile. You're playing a game of language semantics. Every individual who truly believes to be free is in rebellion. Of course you get superficial individuality this in no way is a refutation of Nietzsche's teachings but rather an affirmation of it. We can never judge someones true internal values and intentions and if you know yourself who the fuck honestly cares because it's about the self not the herd and in that is where the truth is about the self. The knowing as opposed to the perception of others.
This is good. I am experiencing self discovery in my quest to make age 50 to 75 the best years of my life. Turns out when you really explore the finding yourself you care little about those people in your life who were judgmental.
I found out that I like the good, bad, and ugly that made up my path.
#50to75
However, be careful as it is easy to forget that we all are judgmental, consciously or not, and you may make mistakes that will leave you free-er but lonely. Long time relationships are very difficult to replace. And the joy of being free erodes quite fast when not shared.

Truth
There is no oneself, it is fake, no body is unique. Oneself may mean "do whatever you want to do", and that is probably not right because you may end up hurting other.
@@joseportillo61 why would you suppress yourself for others while all you need to do is what you want and suits you but to keep a distance from harming others.
But, Guess what there's a belief that says do what ever you want even if it hurts others. If they weren't too involved in your business which's wrong, they wouldn't have felt any harm!
@@JiMo711someone said that it is easier to teach a child to be selfish than to teach them to love others. To avoid harming others you must love them as you love yourself. But some think that it is fine to hurt others if they don't share your believes; that is wrong.
I had a realisation while walking around the streets earlier today: it's painful to see yourself as you really are because two difficult things will become clear to you. The first is that your life is not what it could potentially be. The second is that you will see that you have limits. Both are difficult to grasp and I'm not yet ready to truly "audit" myself but I'm working towards it.
That’s a powerful step
I would say appreciate the small things in life that really matter to you. Then you will find pleasure in discovering new aspects of your personality
Drop LSD.. than graduate to DMT. Follow the white rabbit
“It’s never too late to be what you might have been.” George Eliot
''The first is that your life is not what it could potentially be''. And it will never be. And that is beautiful.
The best way to find YOUR authentic self is to spend time by yourself, because your only a reflection of the few friends closest to you, however they dress you will dress, how they walk and talk is how you will, as well as eventually share the same interest, but once you spend ALOT of time by yourself you will start thinking for yourself.

This should be taught in elementary school and the parents as well.

This validates my decision making, it should be a relief, it is, my fear of anything has gone away so that it's a gift for anyone who watches it more.
You’ll find when you strive to reach for your goals and you begin to rise above your peer group they will try pull you back down to their level, when all they are looking for is leadership really.
A lot of it has to do with the fact that if you succeed then they think it reflects poorly on them. They would have to question who they are and what they are doing, they would also feel that others would see them as failures, so its easier to pull or nock you down than to face themselves and their choices, it says more about them than you. Its funny because on other hand if they do better than you I'm sure they are not trying to pull you up, instead they use their better position to feel superior to you, to boost their ego. This is because inside they have little or no self worth, only the worth of position, and again it says more about them than you. The best thing is to get away from those people, they are in constant unnecessary competition with you and will work to undermine and sabotage your accomplishments, which will result in mostly negative results. When you have found yourself and are confident in yourself, you will not look to pull others down or be more successful than others to have self worth. You will be glad for your friends who do better, and help pull up your friends who are not doing well, and they would do the same for you. In this kind of relationship with the people around you it would lift you all up, it would be a group of people you would cherish and who would cherish you the same, and in that you would be a very lucky person indeed.
It's unfortunately the pandemic of Jealousy and envy. I've only realized in the past 2 years how often I have been the unknowing victim of people's Jealousy. Thinking back to people's reactions and words and lack of enc or celebration regarding things I was excited about or simply even contemplating, I realize that this was their own jealousy at play but because I wasn't aware of it at the time, I let their behaviour get to me and diminish my own celebrations or not even try to go bigger and believe in myself to reach the huge untapped potential I know I have. It's actually really insidious and still makes me very sad that I allowed them to impact me this way. Even sadder it's often the people closest to you who do it. I find strangers or casual acquaintances are far more encouraging so now I just share with them, ie mainly strangers on the internet, rather than people I know. I'm protecting my spirit from jealous energy now.
Scott Perry, I’ve recently had these thoughts. Some people in my past I consider to be ‘legacy friends:’ I know them because I’ve always known them. As we age, I’m seeing differences between us I didn’t recognise before. In some cases I’ve moved on. In others I’ve modified my role and get less invested in negative talk.
So true
Wow. What a clip. I've always been a rebel, with my own thoughts ideas. I embrace being lonely and enjoy my time to myself. I thoroughly love being in my van reading books, writing, venturing out on road trips, doing the simple tasks to keep my mind organised and not fall into chaos. In fact, I am me and that's all I'll be. Thanks for the clip!
You are the person I wanna go with on a trip.

@@wanderingsoul1189 thanks! Yet, it's weird. My parents don't really understand the 'being along' thing, nor do my friends and even ex partners. They think it's weird, strange, that I'm an introvert and loner. However, I'm actually not introverted at all. I'm quite capable of opening and holding a conversation with anyone and everyone, whether big groups or intimate. The fact that I can be on my own and enjoy my own company seems to urk a lot of people, yet to be, perhaps they're the ones that are insecure and insanely depended on needing the admiration and company of others. I find myself bucking the system, thinking differently, and being independent. It's a brilliant state of mind and I feel bold and strong each and every day!
Well Done great stuff
I'm getting old now, and I've been kind of a loner. I'm happy with my life and don't need others to be happy, but I love it when I see my kids socializing and and having fun with friends ,it makes me happy.
@@elscruffomcscruffy8371 you are just more motivated to grow than these people and you could have a deeper purpose. It’s hard for them to understand because they are probably content with staying the same. At least that’s my experience with people who thought my wanting to be alone most of the time was weird
Did all of this, learnt about the philospher later and found his ideas to be "hitting the spot". After reading around 15-20 books of philosophy and some other books of Psycology together with scientific litterature of how the brain and body works, together with dicussions over many hours, over many years I feel satisifed with my path. It was an interessting, frustrating and confusing journey at times.
I did it for me. No one else.
I do however consider that even as an individual you are always part of a herd, but having more control of your role is what I consider important.
Amazing video. Before lockdown I would have maybe hit a few of these points but was pretty lost and hated life, but since it I have been on a voyage of self discovery and this philosphy really hit me hard. Its so true and as David Goggins says "Do something you hate everyday". Get out of your old self and never look back, I have never been happier myself.
This video came out exactly when i needed to hear it, i have been going through the same personal journey (alongside some psychedelics). losing friends, family and economical security. in the quest to become all that i can be, i have had to look inwards and realize how and why my life was unsatisfactory. i realized that i was an extremely insecure, petty, narcissistic, cold, desperate and pathetic man but i fight tooth and nail against the defeatism chaos within my psyche every single day and yet i i refused to give up without exploring what the world inside and outside could teach me about existence and meaning and this video gives me great hope in the future.
thank you
Duality ....😅
Interesting!!! Since in my opinion by being selfish, narcissistic, and cold, is being one's true self, but I may be wrong.
@@joseportillo61 The thing about this being true is exactly the reason of why he has to change the way he is. This means he is yet a part of the herd and hasnt been able to experience his real true self so that part of him isnt really himself. He needs to find his actual inner self to identify who he really wants to be and why he wants to be that person in order to want to be that type of person for an infinite loop of existence where he would always rather taking that action instead of any other
and finally you became Nietzsche ???? dont you ?
People around me always tried to diminish my creativity & break me down with negativity... wish I never listened to anyone and believed in myself.
Yes, correct!!! People are jealous, and some are pathetic. Change your so called friends, and believe in yourself...!
You seem to be young by the photo of your profile, there's time for you to change now that you are aware. Who has parents and friends that are 100 % supportive and never criticize? Very few people.

As such things happen, I found this video exactly the right time I needed to hear it. This might be antidote to all the positive thinking gurus out there. If we were all truly seeking ourselves first we wouldn't be concerned with happiness as a goal -- happiness would just be a byproduct of the journey. Brilliant stuff I need to dive in deeper into his writings.

Eh...why are u talking about gaslighting again.....??? I'm not following???
Wait...r ....u....... saying Nietzsche- gaslights orks.....????
That he's gaslight us, society thr his works????
I wish more people watches this, I was about to fall into the nihilist trap but this made me feel so much more hopeful and motivated
Echoes everything I'm doing at the moment. It's not easy to break free from social constructs and standard code of living and behaviour to break free from prejudice and control. But it is so liberating to do so.
I've just started studying this channel and realise how religion has suffocated and restricted me so much. Thank you so much for this exciting new find of a channel.
I figured all this out at the age of 19, when I derailed my parents dream of me to experience life my way. It’s was a growing experience for us all. 🙂❤️ I love them, they are my home. I’ve been strong ever since.
This video is basically a synopsis of my life. What an incredible mind Neitchz had to be able to summarise the dichotomies of existence so eloquently. Free thinking at it's finest.
I do not know much of the teachings of Nietzsche, but holly cow this hits what I have learned in my life squarely on the head. At so many points in this video I was like 'Yeap", its quite scary.
Ive watched this video more than 4 times and I am still surprised by how many new things I learn about life!
It’s really a lone trip to find yourself but the result will be amazing at the end.
This has so much power to unpack. I've watched it twice and made notes. If you apply just these ideas for the rest of your life...
Id associate myself as a lone wolf, i follow my own path and i dont give a damn what people think of me. And im happier than i ever was
I agree. I used to have a ton of friends and I wasn’t really happy. Over the years I’ve kind of lost all those friends and I’m way happier. Made me realize that all of my “friends” were pretty toxic to my happiness. Now I kinda struggle with loneliness, but I feel like people always let me down. It’s a double edged sword
@@oldmanhendo7183 I think because I've become my own best friend in a sense that I don't struggle with loneliness as much as other people. I'm happy in my own company so maybe you could try learning how to become your own best friend to eliminate the loneliness you feel :)
I have Existential Depression and this is very helpful for me! Thanks for making this video!
Philosophy is AMAZING !!!! it has is own unique and definitive traits. Philosophy is so special because every person has their own perspective and understanding. These are wonderful to hear and not dismiss to acquire knowledge and feel a euphoria of enlightenmentt
I totally agree with Nietzsche's philosophy and this summary is so good! We should not follow the herd mentality, but discover our true selves, embrace life and its difficulties and have the courage to break through our chains.
This lesson is like a lamp for our minds and feet. Wonderful words.
That made me feel better. I've beeen trying to figure out how to be myself. I knew who I was, where I'm headed, what I like, all that stuff. I just didn't know how to fully be myself and embrace myself without having someones opinion in my mind. This video helped me understand more. The fact that I had alot in common with what the dude said, damn🤯. I just wanna say thank you. This is amazing. Really. I'm grateful for this.🙏🏾⚡
My ears my brain my heart my everything is so happy to have heard this! Amazing 🤩 thank you for sharing 🫶🏽✨
Love the mixture of old philosophy, and how meaned into modern life.. It's beautiful knowledge to thrive upon so elegantly presented
Incredible I’ve never been exposed to his writings but he is describing me .
I know exactly where you're coming from. A lot of the times, we know deep down who we are and that sth is wrong, but since we don't know what that is and what we should do about it, we embrace the status quo, cuz that's all we know.
This was the same case for me until I came across such videos
He is describing any self-aware person
Oh man, you’re missing out! Read him and CG Jung now now!
This interpretation of Nietzsche with examples from modern life is great. You got so many points right, I lost counting them. Great, thanks a lot for this tutorial
Thank you for making this inspiring video. I am eager to explore Nietzsche's writings more. Each of us is unique and valuable.
You know what they say: Make yourself because everyonelse is already taken! I learned a lot today ...
This is quite possibly the most useful and dare I say best video I have ever seen on TH-cam.
As humans we all evolve and it’s human,some just are faster than others. L’m 28 waking up after addiction for 3 years and lost my spark… BUT the fact that we are here just know YOU GOT THIS.. I realize how I got here and that’s comfort !! Being uncomfortable is okay & that helps… responsiblty helps move out from parents that’s growth just your life without any help or judgment
Be yourself and always follow your gut ❣️ The Best thing we own is OURSELVES 🤗💕
Leaning to love and respect yourself is finding yourself learn to take good care of your body means everything.
Self awareness and courage to see things for what they are is the only way to understand yourself. Once you understand something you have a better chance of healing or changing that.
This is gold. Thank you for this. I am gonna watch this everyday.
The writer of the video is an intelligent guy himself and it shows. The comparision between a motivational speaker & neitzsche was on point🎯
The nail that sticks up gets hammered back down.
Coming from an overly religious background forced on me, this video is blowing my mind. Thank you!

We all were once like that but it's the time to be who we really are
This is the best investment of 18 minutes that a thinking person (self-aware) can make. Bravo!
Amazing Video just what I needed to affirm that what I am going through is my own evolution of life in me ❤️❤️❤️ can't wait for more
Through selbstüberwindung or in English, self-overcoming. Love these videos!
I needed to hear this, thank you! 🙏❤
Can't express how grateful I am for you making this! Wish this were a book!
wait until you found out that nietzsche wrote a whole bunch of books...
we are into a time where all will realize each is a superhuman.
Time to celebrate!
This is such invaluable knowledge. Thank you for doing what you do.
To whoever is reading this: God bless you, may you have success in all spheres of life, may your dreams come true, may you may the right people in a perfect way & may you stay strong and happy for the rest of your life. :)
Thank you man
Takes balls to write about god on a video naming Nietzsche it‘s inspiration, respect
God is dead
This is an outstanding video and you have done a great job. Absolutely inspiring! 100% Right and I see the light now. Thank-you so much
for quantifying it all.
Thank you very much. I needed this.
That was wonderful. Thank you so much.♥️👍
Thank you for sharing
Oh my god this video is more beneficial and deep than it looks...so so grateful for this video
Thank you for this wonderful work, philosophy is the key of life.
"When you find yourself in the majority it is time to pause and reflect." - Mark Twain
Rosemary Grace wouldn’t you say that being in the majority, especially in democratic society, has at least moved us forward on issues we care about.
@@yazidimugabe3772 Yes, in that case being in the majority is beneficial and can be a very good thing. I'm saying that if youre just changing yourself to fit into unhealthy standards you should self reflect.
@@rosemarygrace1635 but you will always find yourself in the majority you will always find yourself belonging to a community that shares the same ideas and values so you will live your entire life in pause an reflecting.
@@zyad5365 I agree with you
That was *so* beautiful. I'm almost ecstatic. Thanks.
This is possibly the most informative video I've seen on FB, thank you
Really enjoying the videos. Some of the things said here, may be already known from the experience of our lives, but it is good to know that a great thinker also said the same things.
Think about it this way. How would you know who you are unless you lose yourself?
How can you learn to love yourself unless you have hated yourself? Don't listen to anyone's voice except for your own. They will project their insecurities, flaws onto you so you do what makes your soul sing. And watch things come together as if by magic.
@@seisen919 yup that's life
this was amazing, thank you
This is the best video on the Internet so far. Thank you. And I mean of all videos.
somebody said this a long time ago, "take the narrow path" - son of God
love it!! for the road that leads to life is narrow.... Nietzche was a good christian after all, yet he may not have know it, since he was honest enough to say that the only true christian was the one who died at the cross
@@joseportillo61 wasnt he an atheist
@@dunyahali8926 it is hard to say, the short answer may be "yes", what I get from him is that he denounced religious hypocrisy. He had a deep religious background which is very hard to remove from anyone's life. For example, he said that the only true christian was the one who died on the cross. In my opinion he was referring to Christ as the only true christian, and the rest who practice Christianity as false christians because they did not live to the standard of Christ. To me that is profound teaching/preaching and makes me search deep into my heart/soul.
Now, I don't believe that he was against any particular religion because it seems that he took shots at different believes, in my opinion.
I don't take his reproaches as mocking any particular religion but in general as a challenge to take a deep look as to what we believe.
I would have to read all of his work and to give you my honest opinion, but then I would be giving you my opinion as I see it through my eyes.
