Page 216. Nietzsche life‘s bad moments do seem to outweigh the good. Suffering is an evitable, you do not need a philosopher to tell you that, but how we suffer and about what, matters more than we think. Do we experience essential suffering? Do we merely tolerate suffering or do we value it for its own sake, Nietzsche was no masochist. He saw suffering as an ingredient in the good life, I mean of learning. Only suffering leads to knowledge he said. Recall me to myself, said Nietzsche you need not to look outside yourself for meaning look inside. Look it up. You’re a true being does not lie deeply concealed within you, but immeasurably high above you or or at any rate above what you usually regard as your eyes. His philosophy was, at heart, and an experiment and we orientating oneself within a world of total uncertainty.
