pin comment or the info card with the

father and younger sibling gone from

their lives the family moved to nberg

where they lived together with these

sisters of Carl unless even after all of

this that happened to n which most of it

he didn't even understand he tried to

stay positive in life and did his best

in Primary School to make himself and

his mom proud which he did he in

Christian Theology and went to a

Christian High School after where he

also graduated though with a bit worse

grades it started to look like n was

going to follow his Father's Footsteps

and even more so when he decided to

study theology at the University of Bon

life there started all right but it

quickly worsened the two leading

professors there really didn't like n

due to his personal fuse to the point

where they had full on arguments with

each other

n's social life wasn't great either mind

you he might be a lot older than when he

got his traum but due to him being the

only man in the house and having the

responsibility of taking care of the

family he never got to fully recover

from his childhood ptsds which did make

n a bit of an

outsider he tried for two semesters to

get into the University's social life

and even dabbled into composing music

which he apparently really really sucked

at but then he decided you know what I

am genuinely not happy here and left the

university it was at this point in his

life where n started to doubt his

Christianity when a person is

continuously thrown into a pit and

forced to crawl out of it again just to

be kicked back down they start to wonder

why what's the point of putting all this

energy in getting up there again if I

keep getting knocked back down anyway

the answer to this question differs from

person to person a hopeless romantic

would answer love an addict would say

drugs and a devote Christian God but

what if God is no longer an answer for

the believer giving up and staying down

here would be equal to giving up on life

so that can't be an option the only

choice they have is to start looking for

something else to give them comfort and

this is exactly where n is at right now

in his life could there be another

another reason for everything he wasn't

quite sure yet and when he asked his

mother and sister for help and input

they scolded him for leaving his

prestigious study and questioning his

faith this was coincidentally also the

turning point in his life where his

relationship of his family worsen

dramatically but do remember his sister

she would come back to H him very much

later down the line and even after death

but let's not get ahead of ourselves n

was left even more mixed and confused

than he already was but he did know that

he had to switch studies and get into a

new fresher environment so he switched

his study to philology and applied at

the University of leig to study ancient

languages there his life started to get

better he made a couple friends and even

got on some good terms with some of the

professors but he didn't have luck with

women even though he craved love his

faith in Christianity dwindled as his

years in University went on to the point

where we can confidently say that he

abandoned his love for God though it

wasn't common for people to abandon

their faith in the 1800s it wasn't

completely unique either after all the

scientific re ution and the

enlightenment had been going well on

their way but still it was a very hard

decision to make living in a very

religious Germany okay little PP quiz

what happens if you abandon all your

norms and values that you've been told

from birth are the truth and Solly the

truth and when you have no luck with

women that's right we are going to

bruffle now I don't know if n had bad

luck or maybe God took his aband a

little too personal because he attracted

syphilis immediately after making him

physically weak for the rest of his

life at least we're protection bro

nonetheless this didn't stop n from

studying heart and with a passion for

languages and many glasses of milk he

excelled as the top of his class which

lended him a job as a professor at yet

another University though now in basil

where he apparently really did well as a

professor his classes were engaging and

he valued a personal relationship with

each and every one of his students

during his pastime he even volunteered

at the local hospital what a great dude

I'm sure he lived happily ever after you

contracted the centry in theia by

unprotected exposure to the sick you

helped cure you will no longer be able

to continue the job that you love and

you will be plagued by unrecoverable

health issues for the rest of your

life bro I told you even though n tried

hard and long to keep doing what he

loved life yet again kicked him in the

mud and forced him to retire teaching

altogether at age 34 but hey what

doesn't kill you makes you stronger

right God is dead if you are a Christian

yourself you might be offended or even

angry at this bold statement of n but

let's talk about what he actually meant

with the sentence the quote is from one

of the first books he wrote named this

spoke zarra it's a philosophical novel

about a man called spoilers zaratustra

who lived in a fantasy like Roman

time the story starts with our main

character who just finishes 10 Years of

Solitude on top of a mountain where he

spent his time studying humanity and its

created Society with 10 years gone and

plenty of ideals to share with the rest

of the world he decides to backck his

things and to descend the mountain to

spread this message he knows it won't be

easy but no one ever said that the best

way is the easy way he descends the

mountain and stumbles into a local

village where he finds men of God but

also those who strain away from religion

he crosses through the busy market and

finds himself a Podium to stand on in an

attempt to get everyone's attention

originally he was only noticed by a

couple of people but just like a

spreading fire more and more people

waited in great patience for what the

man had to

say God is dead the words cut through

the chat of the market like a hot knife

and butter the usually bustling place

for once silent as the crowd reacted

with a mixture of shock disbelief and

even anger some in the crowd gasped the

faces twist in confusion and outrage

others exchanged nervous glances unsure

of how to process such a bold

declaration a few individuals laugh

nervously dismissing zarto stress words

as the ramblings of a Madman but amidst

the confusion there were those who

listened intently their eyes fixated on

zarra with a newfound sense of curiosity

and Intrigue they recognized something

in his words something that resonated

with their own doubts and uncertainties

about the world around them God is dead

God remains dead and we have killed him

how shall we Comfort ourselves the

murderer of all murderers once again

having all eyes on him he starts to

explain his bold statement for those

disconnected from religion God truly is

De and we have killed him

ourselves his voice steady despite the

thick tension in the air we chose to

sever the ties That bount us to Divine

authority to question and challenge the

beliefs that one shaped our

understanding of the world in doing so

we confront the dtic task of finding new

meaning and purpose in our Godless lives

he paused allowing his words to sink in

before continuing with a sense of

urgency but let us not despair in the

face of this existential voice let us

instead embrace the opportunity it

presents to forge our own paths to

create our own values and to become the

architects of our own Destinies and so

my friends Zara trra proclaimed it is

time to embrace your inner greatness it

is time to cast off the change of

convention and to charge your own course

to the chaos of existence it is time to

become an Uber MCH

[Music]

now if you chose this book for your book

summary test don't take my summary as

the truth those are not the exact words

he said but it's how we interpret them

today n had the great gift of saying

things like an ancient Roman historian

would while that definitely makes him

cool and stand out from all the average

PLS it also made it kind of impossible

for the average person to understand

what he was preaching and more often

than not causes books to be misunder

stod for example the phrase God is death

angered the religious community which

mind you is an overwhelming majority of

the people at the time this caused him

to not only fail to become popular it

also caused him to be called mad by many

including his friends and family but

that's just rude n would never turn

mad at least not

yet one of the most remarkable things

about n's life is that even though his

life was well quite horrible to say the

least he stayed positive and kept trying

to better everyone else's life with more

and more people abandoning their faith

or as his fictional characters ARA would

say facing the void of existence n felt

like he needed to guide this movement of

people in the right direction which made

sense as for hundreds if not thousands

of years we humans were raised and told

that there are only absolute rights or

absolute wrongs there was no gray area

between and on top of that we were

taught that whatever the church or a

politician said was to be blindly

believed something that we couldn't

think about doing in our current day and

age without getting a cold shiver down

your spine the people needed guidance in

this new life and here n came up with

seven recommendations to become an Uber

mench one Embrace individualism people

should strive to overcome norms and

expectations that Society has pness to

discover their true self

two exercise self-overcoming to develop

yourself as a person you need to

continuously challenge yourself with

hardships and obstacles to grow and

improve to become a better human three

live with passion n argued that

individuals should pursue their dreams

and passions with all their might and

that a life lived with passion and

intensity was worth way more than one

lived passively number four Embrace

suffering and adversity ties in with

that as well when like doesn't go your

way embrace it and appreciate the

suffering as it will make you more

resilient and stronger as a person five

create your own values n famously

criticized the church and establish

regimes for forcing their values on

their followers he argued that people

should create their own values based on

their unique experiences and

perspectives on life he believed that

true morality comes from within rather

than being imposed by external

authorities number six be true to

yourself trust your own instincts and

intuitions above anything else in the

end it's you who is your best friend and

also your worst enemy and finally the

seventh recommendation embrace the

Eternal recurrence fried n created the

concept of Eternal recurrence arguing

that a person should live their life

exactly in a way that they would want to

relive that very same life that they

have now for eternity basically

emphasizing to live to be authentic and

to enjoy every single moment that you

have what is most surprising about those

seven recommendations is that it

contains genuine love and care for those

who want to listen to it we went through

n's life earlier and we can safely say

that it hasn't been nice to him most

people who would have gone through this

would have hated or cursed everything

around them for treating them so

unfairly but n turned that hate and

disgust in love and appreciation instead

just like he recommended others to do so

as well unfortunately those

recommendations only work on people when

they listen and that was the last thing

that the majority of the people ended up

doing n was Outcast by society and

wanting to get away from it all and

recharge himself he went on a year-long

vacation with two of his philosopher

friends Lou Andrea salom and Paul re

they rented a house together and started

planning to create their own Society

with only like-minded people but love

got in the way both Po and N fell for

Lou and both of them even proposed to

her and both of them got rejected n

thought he finally found the love of his

life and couldn't let her go he ended up

proposing three times to her and every

single time got rejected the Rivalry

between PA and N caused the idea of a

philosopher Utopia to fall apart and

ended the vacation earlier than planned

where then Lou revealed that she was

only there to see if woman and man could

live together without sexual desires

basically saying she used n for her own

studies additionally randomly as well

she married b anyway leaving n

heartbroken and altogether even more

broken than

before every man woman or child has a

breaking point a point where you just

can't anymore and for n finally but way

too late it had reached in 1899 only at

44 years old reality kicked in and

overwhelmed the philosopher when walking

down the streets in Italy he noticed a

man beating up a horse with a whip and

ren towards the animal flung around its

neck to protect it from the Whip and

cried I understand you I understand you

he then collapsed on the floor and his

vision went

black n never recovered from that day

and the rest of his life was rendered

unable to take care of himself and was

unresponsive when spoken to he

completely fell into madness he was

forced to move in with his sister

Elizabeth who he really despised and

things took a turn for the worst when

Elizabeth took the creative Li Liberty

to GA the materials and writings of n

that he couldn't finish and interpret

them in her own ways completely changing

what he argued for at the end of his

life causing him to be even more

misunderstood n passed away a year later

and go buried next to his father Carl

who was also buried in his hometown at

Ren his mystery didn't end there because

Elizabeth continued to misinterpret his

works with her own personal beliefs

which just happened to be those of

fistic nature this caused n's work to be

praised and loved by the Nazis we used

his own word Uber mench as a way to say

that the pure German blooded race was

better than others even a certain man

called Adolf Hitler expressed his love

for n and even visited Elizabeth herself

in the same house n lived in in his last

years to express how great nche was the

thing is n despised Fascism and

anti-Semitism he praised individual ual

ISM and didn't like authorities telling

how people should live their lives so

even though he was put in the Nazis

classroom he didn't belong there in the

slightest his name was cleared after the

second world war and in the midst of the

cold one people started to appreciate

him and follow his teachings and in the

day and age we live today with atheism

and individualism at its peak which can

be argued could be for the better or for

the worst we almost entirely live in the

world that fried n tried to guide us to

or maybe even warn us

about but there are two things that we

do know for certain firstly n was way

ahead of his time and unfortunately

whether you like it or not we are still

human and the crushing weight of reality

is too much for any man to handle or as

n himself would put it whoever fights

monsters should see to it that an

process he does not become a monster and

if you gaze long enough into an abyss

the this will gaze back into you
