      Good for you, Jean! I like how you worded your comment. I spent the first 31 years of my life surviving. During the pandemic I started performing Standup comedy. 1.5 years later, I still have my day job in sales, but I’m on stage 4-5 times a week trying to make people laugh, and it’s been the most fun and fulfilling experience of my life. For once, I feel like I’m being myself.

    10 life lessons from Friedrich Nietzsche.
    1. Be a harmonious totality. " One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star. " Each of us have two main sides to our personality: a rational, conscious and responsible (Apollonian side) & Instinctual subconscious and emotional (Dionysian side). One has to balance both to have a happy life. It is a balance between organized, responsible and logical life & artistic, creative and emotional life.
    2. Avoid having a reactive life. " Most humans distract their thoughts, to cease to be aware of life." Be brave enough to face the reality and fight the obstacles. Stop being a passive spectator and take our lives in our own hands.
    3. Avoid holding resentments. " To be incapable of taking one's enemies, one's accidents, even one's misdeeds seriously for very long- that is the sign of strong, full natures in whom there is an excess of the power to form, to mold, to recuperate and to forget." Resentment is a poison and slave mentality that can consume us deeply. When somebody becomes a threat, take the immediate and necessary steps against that person and afterwards move on, forget and do not keep any resentment. Avoid arguing for your limitations and keep going towards your goals. Build yourself up instead of complaining.
    4. Don't blindly follow the masters. "Don't just swallow the wisdom of the past masters of philosophy. Rather, strive to build your own path appreciate the masters from the past. But don't just follow them blindly." 3 paths- crossroads.
    5. Find your WHY. "He who has a "Why" is life can tolerate any how." Look at the mirror and see whether you are able to feel respect to yourself. If so then you have a why to live.
    6. Suffering can make you stronger. "One that can't distroy me, makes me stronger." Each events of life teach you something new.
    7. Avoid being just busy. "Men fall into two groups, slaves and freemen. Whoever does not have 2/3rd of his day for himself is a slave."
    8. Live dangerously.🔥
    9. Become a superhuman. Be a bridge.
    10. Happiness - Say yes to the valuable.

      Interesting thought. I have felt too complacent lately and a thought that came to me was “you need to break yourself Francine, before you allow others to break you”. I realized all my growth from brokenness, has happened as a result of things others have done to me or that have simply happened. I am learning to break myself instead, and recreate myself out of my broken pieces that I have chosen.

      @@francineleach6841 I am in the similar phase now and can identify with your words. Wisdom is often found in the book, in own experience and the answers are within us. There is one interesting saying I've heard long time ago. I don't remember exactly how it goes, but thought is something like this: ,,Maybe who you have become is not who you are supposed to be. It's not about who you have become because of what they (people, society, bad experiences, pain, etc..) made you to be, but about UNLEARNING everything you knew in order to find real you." I think the real answer is hidden in how we were when we were kids - before life knocked us down, before we started to listen to adults more (who are lost as we are..) and less our inner voice, in things that made us happy and hopeful. I think answers are there.

    Wonderful ideals from my great great uncle 🙂 I went through all of my childhood and teenage years asked by various teachers and professors if I was related to Friedrich. It wasn’t until my early twenties that my Grandfather told us that we were direct relatives, and when he moved to Canada, he dropped the “Z” from our name so he wouldn’t be associated with Nietzsche. My Grandfather felt rather uncomfortable knowing that people might associate him with these, in his terms “crazy ideals”. So, pleasantly surprised, my maiden name is Nietsche. I wish the “z” wasn’t removed! I guess there was an underlying reason why I wanted to major in philosophy 🙂

    These are great tips, but remember Nietzsche also gave us a warning. He knew the imperfection of humans and how deeply prone to bad ideas we are, and when left to creating our own justifications we are capable of tremendously evil acts and self-centerdness. Therefor have something good outside of yourself to keep your actions and behavior just.

    I enjoyed he overview. Nietzche’s philosophies seem to explain why my rather nonconformists life has led to a view that life has been beautiful. Even now, at nearly 75, I approach life much like Nietzche has outlined. I only really get angry with those who can never trust investing in others who are different , who are not just like them. We learn by empowering others. Trust is not always verified, but those who fail to see happiness as a process that always includes others, risks investing in others, are typically pretty boring and unsuccessful, walking dead, never very happy.

I was the victim of my resentful thinking, and I *could let it go*. I managed to lift a large weight off my psyche that moment. "Battle not with monsters..."

    2022-03-03: I am a Christian, not just nominally,
    and before considering Nietzsche seriously
    I had been believing and living most of these things
    as a somewhat iconoclastic believer.
    But when I read Nietzsche I still find him difficult to grasp
    and i find him more bitter and judgmental than what this presentation advocates.
    But I started out first with reading ‘The Anti-Christ” and miscellaneous snippets,
    and second hand commentaries etc.
    Presentations like this are very helpful.
    My friend who is an atheist and very well versed in Nietzsche
    strongly recommends reading Nietzsche first before anybody’s comments.
    But I am a Cliffs Notes, Dummies, type learner. Also somewhat lazy.
    With all that said, I find the bulk of 10 items in this presentation
    compatible with my personal style of Christianity,
    but I wonder how Nietzschean this really is.
    To me Apollonian (or Apollonian) is pretty much Left Brain,
    and Dionysian is pretty much Right Brain.
    Makes it much simpler and easier than what I get when I start reading
    and trying to grasp the first chapter of “The Birth of Tragedy”.
    I think annotated versions of Nietzsche’s books might be helpful.
    Maybe there are such things.,

      His sister, Elisabeth, was a nazi. Friedrich has always critized her for that, and critized nazis in general and antisemitism sharply. But when he had his mental breakdown and his condition worsened constantly, she "took care of him". That means, she made an archive of his working and treated him like an object. When he was unable to stand or speak because of his bad health, she collected various parts of sentences from his books, and then wrote a new nazi book with that, under his name. The nazis treated this like their bible. Friedrich was mistreated and abused basically. It's a huge misconception that he was a nazi.

    No. 10 is obviously a shot at Heaven - a destination where one will find happiness and joy
    What he is saying is that happiness should be a by-product, not something to be pursued
    Happiness then becomes simple pleasures of the flesh - in Heaven there is nothing to do, free food & drink, place to stay - one vast Retirement Home!
    That is one way to find happiness
    The other way is to find happiness in what we DO in life - your work - I wish that early in my youth I had pursued becoming a Veterinarian - working with animals would have given me great joy
    Pleasures of the heart, mind and soul!
    A musician finds happiness in playing his or her instrument
    Einstein found happiness in working with math, but here is the difference from Heaven - it is not ALL joy and happiness - there is much pain here
    Working with animals won't be pleasant - there will be lots of painful moments
    Einstein was troubled till his death that he could not figure one unifying theory of universal laws

      you need to re-read the piece on Happiness. You have mis-read mis interpreted it. Also I have met no one yet who has been to the place called Heaven. You appear to have been there. WOW LOL

      @@Ghrainne But lots of people say how everything will be so wonderful over there but they have been to Heaven? You are happy to hear wonderful tales of Heaven with a big smile but someone questions it, you say "no one has been there"?
      Every time I have asked what there is to DO in Heaven, theists run away - EVERY TIME! You will too
      Heaven is a Ponzi-scheme & works exactly the same way - lots of cheap promises of the easy good life - in fact that is ALL that is talked about - how wonderful it is, how happy you are going to be etc
      When pressed for details - why exactly does God have billions of people just laying about doing nothing?
      You come back with, "there will be lots to do" etc
      But when pressed for details of this work that's when you guys high-tail it!

      Why do you guys lie to yourself? Heaven is a Ponzi-scheme - looking at paper statements from Bernie Madoff and making yourself happy that you are a millionaire won't do you any good

      @@ramaraksha01 You know that Veterinarians make a lot of money. I have an old friend who graduated from Cornell University and she saves the lives of Horses almost every day . The most unpleasant thing is that damn LOAN she is paying off for the past 10 years. lol. However stop with the chooch talk and DO SOMETHING ABOUT getting a GED already.

      @@bababooeyhatesu But you missed the whole point. The point is that happiness is a by-product - not something that is GIVEN
      Running away from real life and hoping to hide in a fantasy Heaven - where there is nothing to do, a Sugar Daddy God nicely caters to our every comfort is just a fantasy!
      Billions of people just laying about, a useless existence for eternity while shamelessly sponging off God? How does that make any sense?
      But amazingly Hinduism says such a life IS possible but Heaven is not up in the sky - it is right here! As a lower life form - a tree or a Dog
      What does a Dog do all day? Nothing
      What worries does a tree have? None
      A Dog is fed, sheltered, protected & cared for - Heaven!
      These fools running after heaven - eternal pleasures of the flesh - will get their wish but at a steep price
      As for veterinary work, you have no clue do you? Why don't you google or at least find out what the day to day work is like working with horses?
      Every try grabbing a dog while it is in pain or the wrong place? it will take a bite out of you!
      Now try that with a horse! One kick can kill you!

    I wonder if Bruce Lee was paraphrasing Nietzsche when he was explaining the difference between unnatural naturalness(instinctual side) vs natural unnaturalness(the rational side).
