Nietzsche has saved me from roping unironically. Anytime I feel bad about shit, I think of nietzsche and his ideals and the mission I have. I remember that I need to exert my will to power and transcend other worldy thoughts, that I need to aspire to be the ubermensch. If you've ever read berserk, guts is a good example of an ubermensch. He is concerned with this earth and making progress, he keeps improving and doesn't stagnate, he understands the value of pain and that suffering is NEEDED. To be the ubermensch you need to be able to undergo 3 changes. The camel, the lion and the baby.
The camel lives in the desert, he carries a heavy load and does hard work. But he doesn't give a fuck, he asks "what is the heaviest rock I can carry?" and basks in his strength and perseverance. The camel's efforts and pursuits might lead him to be isolated, but that doesn't stop him, he can take all the pain the world gives him, he carries burden and strives to improve.
The lion, the lion is the next stage. The lion needs to fight the "dragon" (the dragon is a metaphor for society/the group), the dragon once protected the camel, the dragon was much like a parent. He cared for the camel, he gave the camel tasks and made sure the camel was alive. But on the scales of the dragon are written "thou shalt", the dragon gives us PERMISSION to do things, we were born with freedom, we cannot be given something which we were born with/owed. The dragon took our freedoms. Now the lion has to fight the dragon, for to be the overman you need to rule the desert, you must be free. The lion confronts the dragon and says "I WILL!", the dragon tells him that "all values have already been created". Meaning the values which you and I hold cannot be changed, he has created all of our values and we must obey them. The lion replies with "I WILL!" and the dragon roars and says the sacred "NO!". But as the lion once was the camel, he can handle the burden and pain of fighting the dragon. The lion does not feel guilt in doing this, he knows what must be done.
Fighting the dragon means to let go of our chains, to let go of our group identity and to become a true individual.
The final stage. The baby. Now as an individual with no master/values you must create your own new values. What you once killed, you must now give life to.
Nietzsche is highly based and 100% a must read for any man, when times become hard I think of the camel. Nietzsche once said
