To put it simply, I understand that when you understand the dark side of a thing too well, understand its inner motivations, understand its behavior patterns, and understand the convenience it brings, it is difficult not to be attracted by it. assimilation.

Similarly, when you are too immersed in some bad emotions or experiences, remind yourself to always take warning, and it will be extremely difficult to get rid of the negative entanglement.

This sentence comes from Nietzsche's Jenseits von Gut und B?se (Beyond Good and Evil, "Beyond Good and Evil", Chapter 4 "Interlude of Proverbs", Section 146.) (1886).

(Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche)

The original text is in German:

Wer mit Ungeheuern k?mpft, mag zusehn, dass

er nicht dabei zum Ungeheuer wird.?

Und wenn du lange in einen Abgrund blickst,

blickt der Abgrund auch in dich hinein.

The English translation is:

He who fights with monsters should look to

it that he himself does not become a monster.

And if you gaze long into an

abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

Translation: Those who gaze into the abyss, the abyss will gaze back; those who slay the evil dragon will themselves become evil dragons.

If we think from Nietzsche's philosophy, it is like a mirror. Although we see the same sentence, everyone has a different understanding.

This is exactly the kind of visionary expression that Nietzsche himself pursued, and this is what makes Nietzsche’s philosophy so fascinating.

For example, my personal understanding of the title of the question is this: Nietzsche’s philosophy is voluntarism, and the dialectics of idealism at the level of Kant and Hegel is: The apparent sensory world is Material abstraction.

But Schopenhauer and Nietzsche discovered that our proud sanity may be a lie. In other words, our reason is actually a way of self-rationalization of our own will.

When we reflect on the way we understand the world, we will find that the way we understand the world is actually established through our own feelings.

The world is like a white wall, and all our feelings and thoughts are actually the reflection of a projector called will on this white wall.

So in the process of understanding the world, we are actually constantly understanding ourselves through understanding the world. When you stay in front of the abyss, staring and thinking, you are also staring at yourself through the abyss.

In the process of fighting the evil dragon to the death, you will continue to understand the evil dragon. When you know how the evil dragon is formed, it is not difficult to find that the evil dragon does not exist in life. in, and exists in your heart.

Extended information:

"Beyond Good and Evil" was written in the summer of 1885 and completed in the winter of the following year.

There are two purposes in writing this book. One is to explain Feng's exposition of "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", and the other is to prepare for writing his greatest and most important work, "The Will to Power." In this book, Nietzsche tried to define the two relative terms "good" and "evil" in order to distinguish between immorality and immorality.

He perceived the contradictions in people's efforts to reconcile ancient moral principles with the needs of modern people. He recognized that people often made compromises between moral theory and social practice.

His purpose is to establish the relationship between morality and needs and to construct an operational basis for human behavior. Therefore, "Beyond Good and Evil" is Nietzsche's most important contribution to a new moral system. One of his contributions touches many of the deepest principles of his philosophy.
