When you read Nietzsche, you'll recognize the sheer weight of his intellect. It's easy to watch videos on him or read summaries about him but youll really appreciate the scope of his genius when you look at his writings. Its so dense with ideas, each one branching off into expansive, nuanced paths all their own. It's like he traveled in this forest of unexplored ideas, identifying the innumerable shrubbery of concepts therein. Like a pioneer of the mind. You just get the sense that this is a powerful intellect, one that turned these concepts over endlessly in reflection. I swear, no writer I've seen pack more nuance into a single sentence. It's a mental workout really, reading Nietzsche.
@@zulqarnaingilani5902 i agree with the op it is a mental workout. I'm reading beyond good and evil his collection of aphorisms- you can get a broad view of his thoughts on the topic
@@optimalsenpai9470 I got a different interpretation. That the evil people of today were the good people of their day. We, at least recently, have increasing are standards of morals over time. Going from slavery to systemic racism, systemic racism to personal racism. Even Abraham Lincoln was incredibly racist towards Indians and would be considered evil by today's standards. And oh my goodness why did I write an entire paragraph.
@@gjondunadan5852 The funny thing every new generation thinks they're morally superior to the last but it's way less than you think. We made huge strides in treating women and other races with respect but now we kill babies in the millions. The only reason big wars have stopped is because no one wants to be nuked. Also a large part of everyone getting treated better is the increased quality of living and not moral standard. Also sorry for rambling. I don't know why this subject in particular makes me want to make these paragraph comments.

@@enricorossi3968 im having this creation problem. and I must drop my relationship to proceed to my maximal potential. its holding me back from all angles, i do create for myself, but i cant feel comfortable being myself, which is not who i am in real life. i just know i can steady climb to the where i want only moving alone, being who i really am, always non-stop. i will not be able to bear the problems/struggles this life brings to the relationship, it's just really the biggest distraction in our lives. all the pseudo-problems and pointless requirements take most of our time and energy and hide our true self and values and potential into pityness that you arent a "good enough" of a partner. then somehow find meaning from that.. but my partner is my best friend and lover, so far. but living life till the end with 1 person seems worthless to me (been together 6 years now), almost like some sub-ideology of meaningless and slavery, with lifetime of rules, losing and choosing the few people you get to meet, although at the same time i see true real love as the most valuable asset in life. im going crazy, but i want to believe there is more real love in life after this.. but it's not fair.. she doesnt deserve this at all. and i love her, and i would lose my shit when shes with anyone else. but i do am something else and more, but its too hard to accept, the pain of losing her is scary. now im living this illusion where im almost but not really faking to be with her, i just conciously remind myself that all this will really be over soon and everything changes drastically in her and our lives etc, then overthink things. but im also losing my shit when im not creating and moving towards my goals, which i have already portaited me to be.. but the creation is something else from what i am currently, and i cant fake. im trapped, a lot of chaos.. i dont know where to find help for this. anyone i talk to tells you can always figure it out together somehow, if you really love her, i do love her the most in my life, but its not figureable to achieve my true greatness, i know it will stop me on the road. it gets to the point where you start hating yourself for who you are, which is honestly not that necessary for me.. i cant change who i am anymore. its chaos :/

@@AaronNazzy In your opinion would a all great all knowing deity such as a God have any value in praise and worship?

@@arturvoveris695 Idk if you understand why people praise and worship, they do it for god, even if he doesnt seek value in praise and worship they do it because they believe that god created everything and they use praise and worship to show god their love towards him
@@Haraenul you are allowed to enjoy life. Nietzsche's whole thing about enjoying life through suffering. Humour is the one crutch that has not failed us. Let people use it, for it is a gift.
I don’t believe his empathy with the horse was a break down but instead a revelation an undefinable connection to all life . He was the horse as are we all as well as the man flogging the horse .
I also think this. Read his last "insane" letters to his friends and you see a man going through complete ego-death. Personally I think he rode the quick and dangerous road, sometimes called the left-hand path, to what some mystic traditions call enlightenment - he did so much self-overcoming he overcame his self.
Nietzsche is one of those rare minds that can excite youthful exuberance, but requires many decades of adult experience of _applied intention and failure_ to understand well enough to _feel_ Nietzche. He was not a narrow, shallow, fearful academic, filled with more insecurity than virtue, so no attention need be paid on maintaining skepticism of the author's sincerity. It's another case of proving the prolific value of virtue in unexpected sources.
@@fazlxD The way he put his thoughts together are quite difficult to understand at times. On top of that I am not a native speaker of the English language.
I’m currently reading Beyond Good and Evil as well. His writing style sometimes requires me to read the page over again. He’s just saying so much I have to make sure I’m absorbing it all. It’s weird. He’s a philosopher/psychologist but his writing style is almost like he’s writing fiction. Very colourful and flowery language. And a lot of metaphors.
I find it interesting that Nietzsche had a very stoic view of life. The fact that he said that humans benefit from growing themselves to pain and suffering and learning. It’s from the Ancient Greek philosophy of stoicism. And I find it more interesting that Schopenhauer said that it is best to avoid pain and suffering. I never knew about Nietzsche. Very interesting

I love how this video breaks it down so simple yet very very informative. It's currently raining where I'm at so I'm just enjoying the weather with some coffee and a joint.
I find it interesting that you mentioned he saw a horse being flogged and he reacted to it. In Dosteovsky's book Crime and Punishment he has a long dream about seeing a horse being beaten to death and wanting to act and being horrified by the event.
So he read Crime and Punishment and then pretended that the horse incident actually happened to him? Sorry, I know this is an old comment, but I am late to this particular party. 😊
What strikes me most about Nietzsche, is the time at which his mind leaves him. The horse flogging. His screaming. "I understand you." This is, a sensation that I recognize. A feeling. When you, develop, an idea of how people should be, a "solution" if you will, to people, you become it. As example, if not because you believe it is the best way to live. But, the one thing that this idea can never do is overcome your basic human need, for understanding, and interaction, from other things. No matter what, you will *always* want some form of interaction with other people. Well, not people as in humans. People as in, "anything that I can relate to, and empathize with." It's such an engrained part of our minds that we will pretend inanimate objects are alive to continue the presence of social interaction. Whether that be soccer balls or Roombas. It is a state of Hyperempathy, where you need some form of interaction, some form of return that you are at least understood *somehow*, or that you can pretend you are understood. Which, gets harder and harder to receive, when you think yourself into a corner about the matters that Nietzsche did. About how people *should* be, to be successful. It becomes a negative feedback loop, where you're affirmed that you *are* alone, and misunderstood, you become more and more so. When you want to strike up deep conversations about life, about philosophy, about anything that lets you feel like you are truly being listened to, things that *require* listening to be understood, but the most you'll ever get is, talking about the weather. Maybe, what job someone has. You come to realize that, no one thinks as deeply about human nature as you do. Not in the capacity that you do. Their idea of life is to have fun, just enjoy it and everything that comes along with it. And it is never deeper than that. The realization that you can't communicate, that you're no longer human, mentally, and that there are only humans around you, that is what shatters you into a thousand pieces.
I resonated a lot with your comment. Not to sound complacent or self-entitled, but yes, the acute cognizance, atleast in regards to my own actions, leaves me disappointed when i look towards other people to infer it. When people do not take a thing for it's face value, the actual depth at which it can be navigated into...is disheartening.
Omg this is so interestingly, beautifully described and I felt your words through reading, in some parts, sadly but truly, finding myself....thank you.💛
The concept of the overman being the most idealized version of one's self and a person's journey toward becoming that idealized self seems similar to Fight Club's plot. Tyler Durden was so dissatisfied with his life that he created an alter ego that could be everything he wasn't and wanted to be.
Kid you not, I was watching this video and at 8:10 I read your comment. Paused the video and went and watched fight club, somehow I never watched it before
Easily one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. I teared up at the end. He left his work open ended so you could take what you want and create your own individual meaning. Ironically, he wanted to ease suffering but showing that when you pick up the pen and suffer for yourself and overcome you can become who you are. Amazing video. thank you
I personally find it funny how in 2021, at 49 years old, i am only just looking into the works of this man. You never stop learning folks! It's taken recent events over the the last two years to get me into the philosophy of life, which leads me here. The fundamentals of his story is a quest for finding and understanding ones real self individually. Breaking it down to the bare bones of what type of person we really are within our true selves.....that can be a hard thing to face. You have to go through being the type of person he is talking about to really understand the concept of it all. Nihilism, like the many many other trials and tribulations of life we go through or feel, is a double edge sword. We all suffer from it in one way or another, but it's at dangerous levels in everybody in recent times. Be careful folks. Tread your own path and think clearly. It's very important at the moment. You are being lied to on many levels and you need to have good and well tuned instincts.
Nihilism never made sense. Self preservation seems to be the guiding value for all humans before any other values. So it does not make sense to say that life has no value.
@@jasonlee6227 the stupidest thing anyone could ever possibly do is put their mind and body willingly in the hands of those who gain profit and power from it's destruction.
I believe that many things that Nietzsche said aligns perfectly with what David Goggins, Jocko, Bruce Lee and others are doing and saying. Without suffering there is no growth, and i am not meaning to cut your hand off, no, i mean get out of the comfort zone, face your fears, discipline yourself, work hard and stay consistent. Suddently, once you've done that, most of your problems will get solved and you will become the person you dreamed of. I've done that myself, everything they say it's true, so get after it!
I had a pretty bad childhood and read a few of his works and well it got me motivated and out of a deep dark hole. I wish more people would look deeper than the whole no inherent meaning, in his philosophy he's an amazing philosopher overall!
I discovered Nietzsche when I was 19 through a great friend of mine. Until today, this great man remains the strongest influence in shaping who I am now and who I would hopefully evolve into for the years to come. His remarkable prediction of what would befall our culture as the morality structure crumbles is even more accurate today.
Dear "Illusion", I just saw your comment; however, I hope the reply finds you well. My answer might be somehow unexpected. At the age of 16, I do not recommend that you dive too deeply into any particular philosophical worldview. At that age, there is a risk that whatever interests you might result in radicalization of your views for many years to come. Instead, I recommend you start reading about the most general views about philosophy. For example, start with the novel "Sophie's Choice" and read it patiently before deciding to learn all about a particular philosopher. I hope it helps, all the best, AMG @@illusion7929
Dear "Illusion," Again, I just realized that you had already replied (6 months ago). Better late than never, yet sorry about the delay. I would love to know how it went with your pursuit of Nietzsche and philosophy in general. Regarding that, I should add the following: Learn about psychology, economics, and to some degree, sociology, in addition to the philosophy you learn. The mentioned three disciplines lie within the scope that philosophy establishes. This example might be helpful: If the fundamental laws of physics are the "philosophy", electrical and mechanical engineering would be the psychology and economics resulting from those laws. Different economic views, be it socialism, capitalism, supply-side economics, etc., are similar to, e.g., your cellphone or your car that resulted from those engineering disciplines. Understanding philosophy without connecting it to the subsequent natural links of psychology, economics, etc., can easily put us at the risk of vague generalities without proper connection to the real world. I hope that helps. Cheers. @@illusion7929
@@rohilthomson That's not what Sartre meant. He said freedom to choose comes with the burden of taking responsibility of the consequences of your choices. That's why freedom is sometimes so paralyzing. As a school student I was told that my only responsibility is to study well and get good grades. That was very relieving. I didn't had to make any choices and was content. Of course some people have a strong sense of purpose. I envy them. Some people are so brave. They do not fear the consequences their freedom of choice brings upon them. I like this quote by Mance Rayder from Game of Thrones "The Freedom to make my own mistakes is all I ever wanted" I like to think of freedom this way too. It gives me confidence to make mistakes.
There's no such thing as the greatest philosopher. All philosophers have something to offer from Plato down to Mainlander (who declared God's death before Nietzsche).
I remember when I was totally ignorant of Nietzsche's existence back in highschool. I used to daydream a lot and think about the meaning of being in school, what it all meant, the purpose behind it and so forth. I figured it's the probable case that there is no afterlife, and therefore no inherent meaning in this life. I also learned of the concept this blank slate of meaning grants you the freedom assign your own meaning. Given these two conjectures, the logical conclusion would be to live your life where you maximize your personal development. In other words, anything meaningful will be grounded in the generalized idea of continuous self-improvement. Then I learned about Nietzsche and realized woah, some philosopher figured this out way before me and in much greater detail !
The 'void' that exists within humans is due to our advanced sense of self-awareness. We are too aware of our mortality and can think beyond life and recognize that there is no intrinsic meaning. We ask what the meaning of life is for the sake of filling that void and we chase temporary pleasures for the same reason but one must realize that the void can neither be filled nor can it be pushed away. It must be embraced and accepted. There's nothing wrong with life being meaningless, it's perfectly fine and worth living despite the lack of meaning...
It's a curse and a blessing. I often wonder if a life of an animal is better. Animals of course suffer a lot especially physically but I think very little mentally.
Actually, the God of the bible fills that void you talk about. He gives meaning to life and gives purpose to all men. Following his him leads to righteousness, truth, and Joy in your life.
I like to believe that meaning can be created, whatever an individual feels is worth suffering for. Mine would be my family, nature, art, and new experiences.
@@arpitkumar4525 Whether it's a curse or blessing is a matter of interpretation. The way I like to see it, it just is. We have the power to interpret it the way we wish to.
His words and philosophy is what I found meaning in and could relate to during my nihilistic time. His words are powerful and relatable. Learned about his words before knowing his name. His work remains as a big mark in history!❤️
The writing, editing, graphics and voice-over delivery [so calm and extraordinary at being consistently neutral] Exquisite.. its been meaning in itself.
I remember getting into a heated debate over Nietzsche with a college professor, specifically over whether or not beyond good and evil should be mandatory reading in school. I guess an organization like education would rather convince people that they need their expensive pieces of paper to find any value in life than find value on their own. I should know I have two of those expensive papers, almost used them as TP during COVID.
The fact that he was _so_ taken out of context and misunderstood is ironic on so many levels. I also can’t believe you didn’t use his abyss quote when talking about his mind collapsing in on itself.
@@rotemyan8935 “Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”
It's strange the Nazis used the concept of the ubermensch for their propaganda when Nietzsche was a hardcore individualist and that believed anyone, whether they're Aryan or Jewish, could become an ubermensch and was opposed to nationalism and anti-sSemitism.
An incredibly insightful exploration of Nietzsche's philosophy! This video does a great job of breaking down complex ideas into digestible content. Nietzsche's perspective on overcoming nihilism and finding personal meaning in a subjective world is as relevant today as it was during his lifetime. The exploration of his life events and how they shaped his philosophy provides a deeper understanding of his work. Keep up the great work, Pursuit of Wonder!"
10:00 - Nietzsche was indeed found in the streets one day in the throes of a manic episode. However, his mania had already been firmly established by that point in his every day behavior where we was living at the time. There is only a single source that brings a horse into the picture. It comes from an interview with his landlord, conducted by an anonymous journalist after Nietzsche’s death in 1900 - 11 years after his walk through Turin. The report reads: One day when Mr. Fino (the landlord) was walking along the nearby Via Po - one of the main streets of Turin - he saw a group of people drawing near and in their midst were two municipal guards accompanying “the professor.” As soon as Nietzsche saw Fino he threw himself into his arms, and Fino easily obtained his release from the guards, who said that they found that foreigner outside the university gates, clinging tightly to the neck of a horse and refusing to let it go. The story of the Turin horse was thus told 11 years after the event it purports to describe, by an unnamed reporter, who recounts a version of events spoken to Nietzsche’s landlord by an equally nameless police officer. The narrative is thirdhand hearsay in its sole original form. Shockingly, Dostoevsky writes an almost verbatim version of this story in "Crime and Punishment". It is very likely that this is where this apocryphal anecdote comes from, as it likely never happened as is widely suggested. Basically, *citation needed* blog.lareviewofbooks.org/essays/nietzsches-horse/ www.faena.com/aleph/the-true-story-of-the-turin-horse-or-nietzsches-horse
I think the true meaning in our lives is found in the ability to find personal meaning, what gives ourselves purpose, that there is no grandiose meaning that encompasses all life, it is merely to accomplish what we as individuals find need to be accomplished

Negativity is needed for someone to outweigh the positives versus negatives. Sometimes there will be a choice that has both, and the "right choice" will not always be the happiest choice. Just make the best out of it. Sadness is necessary part of life to teach one how to appreciate happiness and help others who are sad.

When you read Nietzsche, you'll recognize the sheer weight of his intellect. It's easy to watch videos on him or read summaries about him but youll really appreciate the scope of his genius when you look at his writings. Its so dense with ideas, each one branching off into expansive, nuanced paths all their own. It's like he traveled in this forest of unexplored ideas, identifying the innumerable shrubbery of concepts therein. Like a pioneer of the mind. You just get the sense that this is a powerful intellect, one that turned these concepts over endlessly in reflection. I swear, no writer I've seen pack more nuance into a single sentence. It's a mental workout really, reading Nietzsche.

Nietzsche is one of those rare minds that can excite youthful exuberance, but requires many decades of adult experience of _applied intention and failure_ to understand well enough to _feel_ Nietzche. He was not a narrow, shallow, fearful academic, filled with more insecurity than virtue, so no attention need be paid on maintaining skepticism of the author's sincerity. It's another case of proving the prolific value of virtue in unexpected sources.

What strikes me most about Nietzsche, is the time at which his mind leaves him.
The horse flogging. His screaming. "I understand you."
This is, a sensation that I recognize. A feeling.
When you, develop, an idea of how people should be, a "solution" if you will, to people, you become it. As example, if not because you believe it is the best way to live. But, the one thing that this idea can never do is overcome your basic human need, for understanding, and interaction, from other things.
No matter what, you will *always* want some form of interaction with other people. Well, not people as in humans. People as in, "anything that I can relate to, and empathize with." It's such an engrained part of our minds that we will pretend inanimate objects are alive to continue the presence of social interaction. Whether that be soccer balls or Roombas. It is a state of Hyperempathy, where you need some form of interaction, some form of return that you are at least understood *somehow*, or that you can pretend you are understood.
Which, gets harder and harder to receive, when you think yourself into a corner about the matters that Nietzsche did. About how people *should* be, to be successful. It becomes a negative feedback loop, where you're affirmed that you *are* alone, and misunderstood, you become more and more so. When you want to strike up deep conversations about life, about philosophy, about anything that lets you feel like you are truly being listened to, things that *require* listening to be understood, but the most you'll ever get is, talking about the weather. Maybe, what job someone has. You come to realize that, no one thinks as deeply about human nature as you do. Not in the capacity that you do. Their idea of life is to have fun, just enjoy it and everything that comes along with it. And it is never deeper than that.
The realization that you can't communicate, that you're no longer human, mentally, and that there are only humans around you, that is what shatters you into a thousand pieces.
Bam. There it is.
I resonated a lot with your comment. Not to sound complacent or self-entitled, but yes, the acute cognizance, atleast in regards to my own actions, leaves me disappointed when i look towards other people to infer it. When people do not take a thing for it's face value, the actual depth at which it can be navigated into...is disheartening.

It's taken recent events over the the last two years to get me into the philosophy of life, which leads me here.
The fundamentals of his story is a quest for finding and understanding ones real self individually. Breaking it down to the bare bones of what type of person we really are within our true selves.....that can be a hard thing to face. You have to go through being the type of person he is talking about to really understand the concept of it all.
Nihilism, like the many many other trials and tribulations of life we go through or feel, is a double edge sword. We all suffer from it in one way or another, but it's at dangerous levels in everybody in recent times.
Be careful folks. Tread your own path and think clearly. It's very important at the moment. You are being lied to on many levels and you need to have good and well tuned instincts.
Nihilism never made sense. Self preservation seems to be the guiding value for all humans before any other values. So it does not make sense to say that life has no value.

My answer might be somehow unexpected. At the age of 16, I do not recommend that you dive too deeply into any particular philosophical worldview. At that age, there is a risk that whatever interests you might result in radicalization of your views for many years to come.
Instead, I recommend you start reading about the most general views about philosophy. For example, start with the novel "Sophie's Choice" and read it patiently before deciding to learn all about a particular philosopher.

How old are you now
Dear "Illusion,"
Again, I just realized that you had already replied (6 months ago). Better late than never, yet sorry about the delay.
I would love to know how it went with your pursuit of Nietzsche and philosophy in general. Regarding that, I should add the following:
Learn about psychology, economics, and to some degree, sociology, in addition to the philosophy you learn. The mentioned three disciplines lie within the scope that philosophy establishes. This example might be helpful:
If the fundamental laws of physics are the "philosophy", electrical and mechanical engineering would be the psychology and economics resulting from those laws. Different economic views, be it socialism, capitalism, supply-side economics, etc., are similar to, e.g., your cellphone or your car that resulted from those engineering disciplines.
Understanding philosophy without connecting it to the subsequent natural links of psychology, economics, etc., can easily put us at the risk of vague generalities without proper connection to the real world.
I hope that helps.
Cheers.

There's no such thing as the greatest philosopher. All philosophers have something to offer from Plato down to Mainlander (who declared God's death before Nietzsche).
I remember when I was totally ignorant of Nietzsche's existence back in highschool. I used to daydream a lot and think about the meaning of being in school, what it all meant, the purpose behind it and so forth. I figured it's the probable case that there is no afterlife, and therefore no inherent meaning in this life.
I also learned of the concept this blank slate of meaning grants you the freedom assign your own meaning. Given these two conjectures, the logical conclusion would be to live your life where you maximize your personal development. In other words, anything meaningful will be grounded in the generalized idea of continuous self-improvement.
Then I learned about Nietzsche and realized woah, some philosopher figured this out way before me and in much greater detail !
Man it’s 2 am and I’m crying out of pure thankfulness to a person who can write out thoughts and ideas that I share as well.
The 'void' that exists within humans is due to our advanced sense of self-awareness. We are too aware of our mortality and can think beyond life and recognize that there is no intrinsic meaning.
We ask what the meaning of life is for the sake of filling that void and we chase temporary pleasures for the same reason but one must realize that the void can neither be filled nor can it be pushed away. It must be embraced and accepted. There's nothing wrong with life being meaningless, it's perfectly fine and worth living despite the lack of meaning...
It's a curse and a blessing. I often wonder if a life of an animal is better. Animals of course suffer a lot especially physically but I think very little mentally.
Actually, the God of the bible fills that void you talk about. He gives meaning to life and gives purpose to all men. Following his him leads to righteousness, truth, and Joy in your life.
I like to believe that meaning can be created, whatever an individual feels is worth suffering for. Mine would be my family, nature, art, and new experiences.

10:00 - Nietzsche was indeed found in the streets one day in the throes of a manic episode. However, his mania had already been firmly established by that point in his every day behavior where we was living at the time. There is only a single source that brings a horse into the picture. It comes from an interview with his landlord, conducted by an anonymous journalist after Nietzsche’s death in 1900 - 11 years after his walk through Turin. The report reads:
One day when Mr. Fino (the landlord) was walking along the nearby Via Po - one of the main streets of Turin - he saw a group of people drawing near and in their midst were two municipal guards accompanying “the professor.” As soon as Nietzsche saw Fino he threw himself into his arms, and Fino easily obtained his release from the guards, who said that they found that foreigner outside the university gates, clinging tightly to the neck of a horse and refusing to let it go.
The story of the Turin horse was thus told 11 years after the event it purports to describe, by an unnamed reporter, who recounts a version of events spoken to Nietzsche’s landlord by an equally nameless police officer. The narrative is thirdhand hearsay in its sole original form.
Shockingly, Dostoevsky writes an almost verbatim version of this story in "Crime and Punishment". It is very likely that this is where this apocryphal anecdote comes from, as it likely never happened as is widely suggested.

It is amazing that even in his phase of suffering and pain, he was able to create the most extraordinary theories.
Great summary of his life. 👍🏽
Oh, thank God. I was worried that I was the only woman. Thank you ❤️ so much.
Existentialists are cringe inconsistent sad messes
Seems like pain and suffering give you insight of life.
@@dipanjena7427 it absolutely does. if you're content, why the hell would you double check?

On a serious note, i never knew his late story, only a little of his books and philosophies.
thats exactly what he said
Ur a liar too but I'll take it easy on u
I think the true meaning in our lives is found in the ability to find personal meaning, what gives ourselves purpose, that there is no grandiose meaning that encompasses all life, it is merely to accomplish what we as individuals find need to be accomplished
You! Yes you reading this right now. No not some random person but YOU! I'm sending this message to YOU! Everything that has hurt you is over. Every test you've been put through, you have survived. You might not be exactly where you were aiming to be but today marks the start of your new life. Your mindset shifted to such a high level that it vibrated on a frequency that brought you right here. The universe has a way of taking you exactly where you want to be, at the perfect time and all that is required, is for you to align your mind. NOW, you're on the right track. Watch this over and over until it sinks in and share it with the people you want a better life for and heal and grow together. You're blessed and the new chapter of your life just started! No more negativity. No more sadness. Forgive yourself and learn to love who you've always been so you can sore to the highest level of yourself. This is awesome and I'm so excited for what's about to happen to you over the next few days. Wow! You really made it to this place.
Negativity is needed for someone to outweigh the positives versus negatives. Sometimes there will be a choice that has both, and the "right choice" will not always be the happiest choice. Just make the best out of it.
Sadness is necessary part of life to teach one how to appreciate happiness and help others who are sad. It's easier to know how to help when you've been in a similar situation.

As a German I am freekin proud of our societies history of philosophy and analytic social thinking.
A German feels pride! Red flag!!
@@danialhartridge8956 no
German pride? That can only end well

Just don’t forget you have a few things not to be proud of.
To me, the "will to power" translates as the will to self actualization. The will to actualize the reality we wish to exist within
Fantastic channel that never misses in this world filled with death, disease, and no specific meaning.
This is the most beautiful piece of information on TH-cam including the priceless comment section
"All things are subject to interpretation, whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth"

i dont think that nietzsche became a hypocrite in the end, i think he finally understood what it means to be alive ; and that is a beautiful thing
The DAY you find your PURPOSE is the day you find the AIR you BREATHE in more FRESH. you'll have BOUNCE in your WALK , JOY in your SMILE and POWER in your WORKS.

Ah, yes, my dose of existential crisis, right when I needed it.
jesus christ why does somebody have to copy and paste this same "time for my daily dose of existential crisis" on to every single video this guy posts? god forbid you have an original thought
The crisis of ones existence is created within ourselves. You were already there, this just tripped your brain for a bit.
@@TJfromEarth Ha, I was about to post something similar.
@@TJfromEarth simmer down or you'll be saying you're having an existential crisis. Aren't we all these daze?
hahahaha feel ya🙌🙌💯
This is one of the best Videos I have seen on TH-cam so far. Thank you for creating this beautiful piece of Art!
This has help me and inspired me to read more philosophical writing

There has to be something that gives meaning... most people perform very bad without it
meaning is a jumper that you have to knit yourself
- exurb1a
You can never perform well without meaning
Well, that is up to you to make that meaning worthy enough as your drive for existence
thats why so many people are religious 🤔
but its not touchable.... its not materialistic nor anything......
I have much in common with his early life including the terrible isolation, got "be unapologetically you" tattooed on my chest at 21 for the same philosophy, been hospitalized multiple times, had a stroke at 21, and now am just finding out about his works at 27 of 6 months of studying and after feeling like a mind too far into itself, the way he died feels like a cautionary TALE 💀😭 time to change THAT
Good luck my friend. Find your way
I love philosophy and I consider Nietzsche one of the most interesting figures in philosophy. :) Thank you so much for this video!!
