I've enjoyed life and have had a wonderfully optimistic time enjoying people, helping my patients and other folks.-I've found that in every instance where I engaged such posts on N, that the belief of what N stands for is more powerful than the truth for far too many.-Historically, this is also due to the fact that the Reich had a department deliberately created to interpret N to support the Nazi State, lead by Heideggar I believe. Conveniently missing from their N interpretations where such lines as:-paraph: "Beware the words of the great liar; the one that says I, the state, am the people. Such a monster destroys peoples." When you read the few written treatises of fascism--such as Mussolini, you see that the theory behind facism is exactly that which Nietzsche condemns here.

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
