So that's what Nietzsche was on about . . .

There's much of his thinking that I have always agreed with, have experienced to be true or helpful when the going gets tough. But, yet, I find the extremes of his arguments to be extreme to a degree that is comical and distracting. ?

What about a philosophy of being happy in the middle?

I'm very compelled by this quote.

I'm also compelled by the idea that difficulty and suffering are clues and indications about our lives that we can use to make something beautiful.

good critiques of Christianity too.

thanks for posting this.
