Nietzsche criticizing GMG

[Henk]

To quote Red Green, "Remember I'm pulling for you, and we're all in this together."

I only knew the second part of that phrase, which has become common use. Good to know the first part now as well, won't forget it now.

Here you go:

And remember, if they don't find you handsome, they'll at least find you handy!

Thank you, Iota. The attention I get in this thread is doing me well. I was out of balance. Too much Nietzsche. I lost the grip on my own life, with bad concentration not helping in this. The cure for my concentration and thinking by reading Nietzsche worked, but worked not for my life.

I now started to read a book by art historian Ad de Visser. This seems to work well. I'm very happy with it. So I find balance.
I figured out a much more simplified philosophy, tackling in a better way my problems, doing away with a lot of mass. Still Nietzsche, but in a light sense.

Good suggestion about thinking less. I have some books on Buddhism, some by Osho. In any way I try to do away with bad thinking. Bad thinking (such as caused by paranoia) can, with emotional, social and spiritual stress lead to psychosis. So I try to think and reason well and fill my mind with good thoughts and a philosophy that works for me. It's indeed nice if the mind is just quiet, I'm sometimes in that state, maybe I can try to silence my mind more, maybe I stress it too much.
I'm indeed very questing. I think I'm honest too.

I'm flattered. The kindness I received is something to be thankful for and something to remember. I think I just keep hanging around here and silence the critical voice of Nietzsche. Some human touch is important. It's my life that I'm living.

Yes, I think it's important to accept one's life and feel comfortable in it.

I think it's important to accept one's life and feel comfortable in it.

All the more so as one lives in the Western World. Henk, imagine being born in a country plagued by poverty, famine and/or civil war --- you'll feel instantly grateful for how much better and safer is your life.
