The world is not for thinkers. The world is for animals. Life is cruel where everyone is out to get everyone else.
Although I am not religious, but now I can understand why religion exist. People need love and salvation. People are inherently weak and need support.
The purpose of life I guess is to be born, to live and to die. I have been to school, then high school, then university, now I am in the work force. The way I see it, we all live in a detached environment where everyone is using everyone else and there really is no way to develop a close relationship with any workmates because everyone is there to make money.
What is absent in this world is love and companionship. Nietzsche is right after all. The world favours the strong, who becomes influential then becomes even stronger.
Those who succeed are strong and in many instances ruthless. Human society is not humane, it is a jungle just like the amazon. People come together not out of friendship but to work.
The way I see it. make as much money as possible and retire from the jungle earlier. The world can’t be saved.
I’m out to get those who are out to get everyone else. Does that work? Will I send God into convulsions? Am I a vigilante? Will the devil have me? God?
That is correct. Workers must compete with each other and are therefore tyranical to their own class. Now you have two options: defect and become a capitalist yourself, or remain a coward like the backward masses and do your job like the mule that you are.
what can you get out of those who are out to get everyone else? aren’t those who are out to get everyone else the same as everyone else if ‘everyone is out to get everyone else’?
if you are out to get those who are out to get everyone else then by logic you are out to get everyone else, therefore you are apart of those who are out to get everyone else therefore you can’t be out to get those who are out to get everyone else.
I see a third option, that is to work my ass off and retire early.

if the world can be saved how come after thousands of years it is still as brutal as the savages? we are more intelligent savages that’s all.

agreed! Lord of the flies is true. I must get out of the island because I am not like everyone else.
You know…like Robin Hood, dude. Steal from the rich, give to the poor. That sorta thing.
I am naturally destructive, vindictive, sarcastic, aggressive, cunning, violent, and terrible, but I have chosen to fight on the side of the good and the poor. Just call me Hell Boy, and warn the Nietzscheans/Randians/Capitalists of my arrival.
I don’t believe in stealing from the rich. I believe in stealing from the anti-social dickheads that mostly run this world! if we had half-decent ppl in high places, the world won’t be as fucked up as it is now. pardon my language.
That would depend on ones view of sins. I’m sure many might consider going into a temple, a holy place, and over-turning a table of business might be seen as a sin. Just as others might see doing business in a holy place as a sin. Then there are those who see both and neither as sins.
Your distinction, whilst understood, is subjective like all else, to your views and mine are the same… but then, I’m obviously just playing here.
