Do ...


Do whatever you will, but first be such as are able to will.
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)

Contempt


Behind all their personal vanity, women themselves always have an impersonal contempt for woman.
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)

Good, Bad, Happiness


  • What is Good? 
  • All that heightens the feeling of power in man, the will to power, power itself.
  • What is Bad? 
  • All that is born of weakness.
  • What is Happiness? 
  • The feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome.
The Antichrist, section 2, Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)

Interpretation of the TRUTH


All things are subject to interpretation, whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.

Faith


A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.

Mountains of The Truth



On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.

Confidence and Rights


People who have given us their complete confidence believe that they have a right to ours. The inference is false, a gift confers no rights.

Opinions



It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them!
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) 

Again an impeccable remark ...

Love and Hate, Friends and Enemies



The man of knowledge must not only be able to love his enemies, he must also be able to hate his friends.
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

Not only love your enemy, but hate your friends...
Somehow I always knew friends are over rated. It is true that friends help you when you are most vulnerable, but most of the time they are who cause the problem in a first place. At least it was the case in my experience. I love my friends but I hate them as much.

As for your enemy, why you should hate your enemy, it is merely his purpose to do you harm in your life. So why hate him while without your enemy there is nothing to live on for. Better yet to love him as a wise man never hate his enemies.

Heaven and Fools





In heaven all the interesting people are missing.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is a bitter truth in this quotation. I always wondered how heaven would be like. The religions describe heaven as a magical place which everybody enjoying themselves forever and ever until the end of times which is never apparently!
In this life, people enjoy small amount of relief between long agonies. Fun and interesting stuff are precious because most of the time people are bored and suffering. Think about a place filled with all the interesting stuff you could ever imagine,  would they still seems interesting if you could play with them forever and ever? The only reason which makes things interesting is that they are rare, nobody else has it or it is too hard to get. In heaven everybody can have anything they want.
Heaven is boring … I don’t understand why people are so eager to get the heaven anyways. Suppose people preferred to be bored than burned in hell. But when you think about it, being bored until the end of time is not much different from burning either. It’s another form of torture So it is hell anyway.
If there is no heaven, there is no hell either.
It is all a lie. People do all the things which they think are good to get to heaven. But when you look closely they are just a fool running toward a mirage.
Damn Fools
