Working on the monsters even as I text!
Love the new profile image. Cool nix between Illuminati and Tony Stark/Iron Man
search about it, itâs from the Legend of Zelda game series, called the âCrest of the Sheikahâ.
thereâs a lesson there
What is the purpose of my life?
A question with a hundred answers, but none of them can really be considered as the âone trueâ answer.
we often chase so many things in our lives, whether itâs wealth, women, looks, fame and/or recognition, but why do we?
is it really us who want those things? or are we just the crystallization of societyâs constant programming, that has been filling us with âmeaninglessâ desires? Or are we chasing them simply as coping mechanism(s) for traumas we couldnât heal?
we get so lost in our âgoalsâ and âdesiresâ, especially when society glorifies the âgrindset mindsetâ attitude, that we just lose ourselves at the smallest of âsetbacksâ, but why?
why do we have to constantly push ourselves so much, to achieve things, that we might not even want?
this is not an attack on anyone, neither is it meant to make you feel bad, but have you ever considered, that maybe, just maybe, you work for people you donât like, to make money you donât need, to buy things you donât want, to impress people you donât like?
think back to your life as a child, can you remember it?
can you remember the time you did something âdangerousâ due to your curiosity, ended up injured, but had the most fun in your life?
can you remember the time you would play outside for ages, run inside your house while breathing really heavy, but with a big smile on your face, and drink cold water, then go back outside as soon as youâre done, all because of the immense amount of fun and enjoyment you were having?
when did we lose that âenjoymentâ and âcuriosityâ? why did we lose them?
so many questions, but no âreal and trueâ answers.
live a little.
Some of us still got it
Brilliant post!
At least with me, It began once I started school then the programming really started. Now, through Sub Club, I am beginning to uncross my wires.
To be a person you are proud of, feels far better than any recognition and/or fame that you would get from doing something.
A new journey starts from here, and the main sub for my âouter realityâ will now be Emperor: House of Medici.
Why not Stark? I value deeper bonds, with my family, friends, girlfriend and those I meet, and I want to deepen them as I take care of myself and my work, but also to give back and support them with their endeavors in life.
@Billions I remember you recommended HoM to me more than once, and I never liked that idea, but now it seems that my intuition is saying that itâs what I need to run, so I guess I owe you an apology for disregarding your recommendation before.
Funny you should say this. Recently had the same realization.
Live a little.
But I personally incorporated it this way: balance.
All things in moderation.
Have goals, improve your life, even want money or a cool car, but donât exhaust yourself in the process.
Toxic hustle doesnât help.
I see life on earth as a vacation for our soul.
We can have all the experiences earth offers, but we should also make use of this life to learn something.
At least that works for me.

More than ever
At some point
I think weâll all end up as Ăbermensch
The idea is to first accept that you donât need to be confined by the chains of âsocietyâ, challenge them if you must to truly âliberateâ yourself, while enjoying what is there for you to enjoy.
Losing yourself while chasing something is the exact reason for why you canât âlive a littleâ at times, because in the society weâre in, everyone envies someone for what they have, forgetting that their path and gifts are also of high value, if not to others then at least to themselves.
Thatâs what it means to live a little.
What does it even mean to âend up as an Ăbermenschâ?
Being an âĂbermenschâ is more of a constant state of being, rather than a definite one.
The idea behind the Ăbermensch is far simpler to execute and âembodyâ than most realize, because it simply means to live life according to your own ideals, without envy and jealousy, with full acceptance of all your achievements and failures, while being at complete bliss within yourself.
It is easier said than done, as itâs our âhumanâ nature to envy those above us, whether in terms of wealth, fame, success, knowledge, or any other âpassionâ we have, but we can overcome such feelings, by reminding ourselves that true bliss is in the ignorance of those feelings, and to be concerned with one thing alone: yourself.
And whoâs to say that many of us arenât what Nietzsche described an Ăbermensch would be like?
Many of us have the ability to overcome our primal instincts that lead to such feelings of envy, jealousy and shame, that prevent us from liberating ourselves from the confines of those âlowly emotionsâ, so master them, and set yourself free, and become the superman you wish to be .
What you said above exactly
Also remember what Nietzsche said about the Abyss that inevitably comes by becoming the Ăbermensch.
âIf you stare into the Abyss for too long, it might stare back into you.â
Itâs a dangerous path to tread!
You are basically a psychopath and sociopath not adhering to any societal standards. This HAS implications. Even if itâs just the people around you.
Still, escaping the Matrix is a necessity these days for happiness. But Nietzscheâs work was very heavy and powerful.
Conversely, one can also say that embedding yourself as far down the Matrix as possible would be the easiest path towards âhappinessâ, just as long as youâre not aware of what exists on the other side.
Perhaps the greatest philosopher that ever was. I remember one quote from Thus Spake Zarathustra (where the Ubermunsch concept is expanded upon the most) that I think embodies the concept of the ubermunsch more than any other.
After leaving a town, with his disciples following him Zarathustra (the quote unquote âubermunschâ) says: "I now go alone, my disciples! You too go now, alone! Thus I want it. I advise you: depart from me, and guard yourselves against Zarathustra! And better still: be ashamed of him! Perhaps he has deceived you.â
I think that statement stresses the importance of guarding the relationship with the self more than any other.
Societies was created by Ăbermensch
Let us become Ăbermensch
Such is the essence of creation
I love the constructive debate I installed sorry not so sorry for your journal Invictus lmao
Your fault, youâd be less a man you wouldnât attract this
And thatâs why you donât just stop at one type of âself realizationâ philosophy, you learn more about those who came after and expanded on it.
To internalize and fully embody the âĂbermenschâ, we all need to remember that it wonât happen until we have also made peace with our Shadow, or else, as you mentioned, the abyss would stare back, more than one would want, or can handle.
And thatâs the thing, itâs not a wrong thing to stay ignorant, I mean, Nietzsche was even the first person (if Iâm not wrong) to say that âignorance was blissâ, but more often than not, that statement gets misunderstood.
Thereâs happiness and then thereâs âcontentmentâ, what you described leans more towards the latter, as youâre purposely trying to stay âignorantâ to the bigger truth and your own potential.
Can you be happy like that? Sure.
Would you reach your full potential as a human that way? I doubt it.
I agree with what your understanding, as many donât really understand that the idea of being an âĂbermenschâ does not mean that the person will be a humble, loving, role-model like person for anyone, itâs quite the opposite actually.
A person walking on the path of âself realizationâ in Nietzscheâs vision, is going to face many of their beliefs getting shattered, and have their understanding of morals and ideals change quite a bit. A person like that is no Saint, but thatâs the thing, youâre not on the path to become one.
Debates cause growth in understanding and learning, and we are people with open minds, with the ability to think in ways that arenât necessarily âtraditionalâ for us, hence why this âconversationâ has been going good.
But if you add someone like Madara here, youâll see how this âconstructive debateâ would easily get âmessyâ, due to the nature of his closed mind (itâs at times like these that Iâm glad he has me on his ignore list ).
Wise advice. You can count me in.
Hey yâall
Been a hot minute since I posted here, but donât worry, all is well in life, just been busy as I recently finished with an event, and already have 2 more lined up (one is for 3 days starting next Tuesday, while the other starts on the Monday after that for 5), but Iâll be starting a new journal very soon, so keep on a lookout for that (Iâll probably link it here), but till then, hereâs a sneak peek:
