"Every superior human being will instinctively
aspire after a secret citadel where he is
set free from the crowd, the many, the majority."
Welcome back YouTubers, today we will talk
about 13 life lessons from Friedrich Nietzsche.
Yes, you heard me right, its Nietzsche time.
One of the most important and renowned philosopher
of the Western world. He has transformed the
way of thinking and seeing ourselves.
Man alone himself is the book, we extracted
these lessons for you. This book is part of
the section of the book called Human, All
Too Human.
Starting with Lesson 1: Enemies of truth
Convictions are more dangerous enemies of
truth than lies.
Lesson 2: Calm in action
As a waterfall becomes slower and more floating
as it plunges, so the great man of action
will act with greater calm than could be expected
from his violent desire before the deed.
Lesson 3: Condition for being a hero
If a man wants to become a hero, the snake
must first become a dragon: otherwise he is
lacking his proper enemy.
Lesson 4: The most refined hypocrite
To speak about oneself, not at all is a very
refined form of hypocrisy.
Lesson 5: Wanting to be loved
The demand to be loved is the greatest kind
of arrogance.
Lesson 6: Dangerous helpfulness
Some people want to make men's lives more
difficult for no other reason than afterward
to offer them their prescriptions for making
life easier their Christianity, for example.
Lesson 7: Shadow in the flame
The flame is not so bright to itself as to
those on whom it shines: so too the wise man.
Lesson 8: A little knowledge
It is more successful than complete knowledge:
it conceives things as simpler than they are,
thus resulting in opinions that are more comprehensible
and persuasive.
Lesson 9: Martyr
The disciple of a martyr suffers more than
the martyr.
Lesson 10: Sacrifice
If there is a choice, a great sacrifice will
be preferred to a small one, because we compensate
ourselves for a great sacrifice with self-admiration,
and this is not possible with a small one.
Lesson 11: Self-observation
Man is very well defended against himself,
against his spying and sieges; usually, he
can make out no more of himself than his outer
fortifications. The actual stronghold is inaccessible
to him, even invisible unless friends and
enemies turn traitor and lead him there by
a secret path.
Lesson 12: The right profession
Men seldom endure a profession if they do
not believe or persuade themselves that it
is more important than all others. Women do
the same with their lovers.
Lesson 13: Envy and jealousy
Envy and jealousy are the pudenda of the human
soul. The comparison can perhaps be pursued
further.
