As the saying goes: "There are only 18 or 10 unsatisfactory things in life that can be explained to others." Everyone has countless troubles every day. It seems that no day is completely free and easy. How should we face these endless troubles? If we talk to a friend about these painful troubles, but the friend tells you "you should enjoy it", how will you feel?
According to many people’s assumptions, Nietzsche was probably the last person to comfort his friends. He said:
“For those I care about, I wish them suffering and loneliness. Desolate, sick, abused, humiliated - I hope they will not be spared the following experiences: profound self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, and the misery of complete failure."
No matter. Is this statement crazy? Anyway, Nietzsche went crazy in his last days. His thoughts were not understood for a long time, and later he became ill. It is said that one day on the streets of Turin, Nietzsche saw a horse being abused by a groom's whip. He hugged the horse's neck and couldn't help crying. , and then went completely crazy.
Here is a brief introduction to Nietzsche. He was a famous German philosopher who was born in 1844. When he was five years old, his father and his two-year-old brother left him successively, which made him He has been gloomy and withdrawn since childhood. At the age of 21, Nietzsche read Schopenhauer's "The World as Will and Representation", which excited him very much. He felt that he had found a soulmate. "The World as Will and Representation" is Schopenhauer's masterpiece about the will to life. The Chinese translation has more than 500,000 words, which is a headache to read. To put it simply, the so-called will to life is something that is above reason. It is the human instinct to survive and reproduce. Under this instinct, any rationality is pale and powerless. Schopenhauer further believed that life is a kind of pain, and the stronger the struggle for survival, the greater the pain. Nietzsche strongly agreed with Schopenhauer's point of view, because he himself could feel the pain of life all the time. Schopenhauer believed that in order to get rid of these pains, people should be free from sexual desires, especially sexual desire, which is the source of human suffering. Nietzsche went against Schopenhauer on this point. He emphasized that abandoning desires in the face of pain is cowardly. A real warrior should dare to face the bleak life. Nietzsche has a famous saying:
“Whatever does not kill me makes me stronger.”
Nietzsche believes that pain and happiness are twin brothers. Those who cannot endure extreme pain People will never feel the ultimate happiness, and the source of happiness comes from pain. Nietzsche investigated history and found that all those who have achieved great success have experienced pain that ordinary people cannot bear. Nietzsche compared this theory to climbing a mountain. The more you climb to the top of the mountain, the more tired you get and the harder it is to breathe, but the scenery at the top of the mountain is the most beautiful. good. This is similar to Sima Qian's "King Wen performed "The Book of Changes" while Zhongnieu composed "Spring and Autumn"".
Nietzsche criticized those who only pursue happiness but are afraid of misfortune. He believes that these people have not understood that happiness and misfortune are the same mother. If you want happiness, you have to endure misfortune. If you don't want to endure misfortune, you must have no desires or desires. Nietzsche severely criticized Christianity. He believed that Christianity makes people tolerate and obey, which is actually a surrender to difficulties. They denounce the things they can't get as bad, and praise the things in their hands as good. You comfort yourself by saying that the things you get are unnecessary. These are all self-deception and a sign of your inability to resist.
