everyone itt should read Nietzsche
'Let us look each other in the face. We are Hyperboreansβwe know well enough how remote our place is. βNeither by land nor by water will you find the road to the Hyperboreansβ: even Pindar, in his day, knew that much about us. Beyond the North, beyond the ice, beyond deathβour life, our happiness.... We have discovered that happiness; we know the way; we got our knowledge of it from thousands of years in the labyrinth. Who else has found it?βThe man of today?ββI donβt know either the way out or the way in; I am whatever doesnβt know either the way out or the way inββso sighs the man of today.... This is the sort of modernity that made us ill,βwe sickened on lazy peace, cowardly compromise, the whole virtuous dirtiness of the modern Yea and Nay. This tolerance and largeur of the heart that βforgivesβ everything because it βunderstandsβ everything is a sirocco to us. Rather live amid the ice than among modern virtues and other such south-winds!... We were brave enough; we spared neither ourselves nor others; but we were a long time finding out where to direct our courage. We grew dismal; they called us fatalists. Our fateβit was the fulness, the tension, the storing up of powers. We thirsted for the lightnings and great deeds; we kept as far as possible from the happiness of the weakling, from βresignationβ... There was thunder in our air; nature, as we embodied it, became overcastβfor we had not yet found the way. The formula of our happiness: a Yea, a Nay, a straight line, a goal....'
The Antichrist, Chapter 1
