How could I not identify with the current of thought of Nietzsche? Or rather, why do I consider him to be a critical, non-fleeting and funny author with whom I try to interpret various aphorisms residing in his books and that I also relate him to my chaotic life?
By this I mean that this deceased human being but alive in thought represents a lot to me. I do not hesitate that in some way it produces that characteristic effect with those who feel identified through their implicit or explicit sentences in their texts, aphorisms and everything that relates to the idea of overcoming man. His speech is unique and that particularity full of glittering eyes and music the ears of those who are deserving of his thought.
His prologue consists of multiple ideas in which are contained aspects of man: square, star, life, death, people, justice, education, culture, love, contempt, happiness. But, his most striking phrases and break the stigma of man are: "God is dead" and "I teach you the superman; Man is something that must be overcome".
Those two phrases are welcome for those who are willing to risk their own lives in terms of the superman. It is not precisely such a risk as a sacrifice; For from every abyss and putrefaction a new light is born and full of radiance to reside in a hostile sea.
On the other hand, there is the conception of what is or is not man and superman. I think the best way to illustratively relate the concept of man is through the "Vitruvian Man," a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci. That association on my part is by the same relation that man has to part of his body with reality itself: to measure. Measure, in every sense, either at the time of communicating and perceiving reality. This is the limitation that is had by the fact of not being gods.
If one speaks in terms of creating something, it has and at the same time not the restrictive as such. For example, each of Nietzsche's books and essays. I am quite sure that his words were not enough to express his way of thinking. The same author mentions vulgarization when taking it outside itself, to reality itself.
The concept of woman who is equally related to the concept of man is very distorted because the current notion of woman is absolutely wrong. In fact, it is so bad the thing that the woman herself does not know for sure how to project her femininity without the established social parameters. And what about men too? There's still a lot of dirt left to strip.
In man and what is before (worm and monkey), distinguishes some symptoms. First, the decadence and death of the spirit. Second, the desire for destruction instead of creation. And third, the reflection of what is mentioned in the body itself, whether due to malaise, illness and slow impoverishment. Example of what to mention if these abound around us especially with the so-called "Venezuelan culture".
An overcoming is mentioned and that is in the superman where the spear of the gods finally falls. Yes, it is that man is only transit and sinking which means period unless you turn that period into eternity and with it the latent agony worse than death. In a conversation, I mentioned to a friend or fellow traveler, by way of example, something related to this idea of overcoming.
He mentions:
"They call him Beatriz but they call him Iraq." Then I point out that the only way to eradicate this event is for the earth to swallow any symbol of decay for the superman to be born. He, sarcastically, says that Venezuela is very far from the superman. But if this idea is desired, then the rest should fall and be drowned for a new indifferent birth whether or not it is so.
In this fall or sinking is in the same sense the phrase "God is dead".
God is dead is the fall of all the string of lies known then. Morality, idealism, hatred, resentment, revenge, guilt, good, evil and punishment represent the voice of the flock that is precisely something pointed out by the author. And that is also what you want to pull out of the gut to be free and so on to the road to creation, the child with its new beginning.
Other characteristics resulting in the superman are self-sufficient being and autonomy. These are two interesting phrases but, what do they mean, actually? To seek autonomy and self-sufficiency is not linear or standard. This will vary according to the needs, experiences and vision of each other's world.
What if I am sure is that if you want to achieve it, someday, make yourself light and happy. Something similar to shaking off what makes the spirit harmful is to fall as low as possible where your bowels are revolted and the internal struggle does not stop until a denouement appears: either you get rid of it or it takes you to I do not know where.
I can and re-read this amazing author, but the irony is that there are more questions than answers. Anyone can see that as a disgrace but that misfortune conceives a necessary ingredient for everything else. I explain, how to live if one does not ask questions?
How horrible to give every detail for granted and let you stab them repeatedly and sedate the spirit! Do not! It is better to ask laughing and being alert but alert. And so ends this writing, with something to add but with thousands of questions residing even in my head.
Great post upvoted and followed! =)
