It's better to always wish for everyone to experience the feeling of failure, if you have an easy life you will never have the will to pursue and archive goals. Living an easy life will never give you a hardship of making life more meaningful. Life will be nothing without struggle.

Nietzsche's writing is so beautiful, he wrote that, "sorrow and happiness are twin sisters, they either grow together or stay small together". This is really true in my experience. If you just try to comfort yourself with religion, booze, television, or just thinking of things in an easier way, you are doing yourself a disservice. The worse your moments of pain are, the better the feeling of glory is when feel like you are strong enough to look at them honestly and overcome them.

18:50 - 19:07 Though I'm a Christian myself, I definitely agreed with this exact sentiment and it's been going through my mind for quite a few weeks now. I feel like most of the people in my church use the religion as a sort of coping mechanism for their hardships, and sometimes even an excuse to not really reach above their own limits. Most will pray for more money, but not read a single book on finance, or learn what it means to have money. We are lambs of God, but most act like sheep, unwilling to use their minds to determine their true destinies. It's led to a sort of disillusionment with the people in my church, but not with my faith, as I have learned to make the distinction between the faith and it followers. The video chooses some easy New Testament verses for examples of the things that Christians like to hear. But I would like to point out a couple which Christians hear, but do not truly believe: “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father." John 14:12 "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." Romans 8:37 I believe in engaging my faith not only spiritually, but rounding it out intelligently, for full effect. I can truthfully say that my path of self-improvement has put me more in step with God than the blind faith I've been running on for years. It's made my faith stronger, and has kept my philosophical faculties ever growing. I hope that through my own life I can hopefully open my fellowship's minds to the possibilities of a life well lived. God Bless.

​@@joshuajberger Sheesh! I must've written this when I was 19 lol! The disillusionment I felt at the time turned out to be the beginning of a long spiritual awakening which led to an involuntary ego death that eventually resulted in waking up to Reality, pretty much. The last couple years were an excruciating ordeal on my soul. Now I just live my daily life peacefully through its ups and downs. I've come to know the truths of the bible on an intimate level, having not read it in years. I've mainly discovered that the life I want, or a life of full self-expression is on the other side of my own fears. I can no longer hide from them now as they are direct impediments to life progress. I used to think I had to arrange life on the outside in order to grow as a person, but the mechanism has flipped inside-out, in a sense. I move in the direction of that which I fear. It's sort of like an internal guidance system. I have 100% Faith in God now. I have no choice because I walk a path no else is walking. I'm the only ME! Faith is trusting God even when your decision looks stupid to everyone including yourself. I can't accurately predict what I'm going to do next. I bought a motorcycle for reasons even I don't understand. God only says, "You'll see." My mind only has 26 years of understanding to draw from, but God's mind is infinite so I place my trust in Him. I'm using dualistic terms, but there is no true separation between God and Man. Faith is a step in the dark which leads to an adventure. The mind wants to create a linear path towards goals, but that's how everyone gets stuck in life. Relying on one's own limited understanding to end up in a slow cycle towards happiness. But God's path is more like scribbles. You walk in equal parts fear and excitement. And then you some how end up in a better spot than you were aiming at, lol. It may look and feel uncertain at the moment, but the reward on the other side is so much greater. Once there, you ask, "How could I ever doubt?" I don't have a philosophy, but I recognize everything Jesus says as Common Sense. There's no magic to it. He's just explaining how reality works. He himself told everyone, "anything I can do, you can do too." John 14:12. It's just that in our lack of understanding we ended up turning him into deity and ignoring our own ability. Most of the Bible is Common Sense told in allegory. It really is the Living Word, because you live as the Word. But I had to step away from organized religion, into the unknown to find the Truth. Now I'm just back to drawing comics!

Happiness is a moving target and subjective, as well as an abstract. What say we put it in the here and now, and focus on some more concrete aspect of it? Economy has a huge impact on our happiness, and many worry about it more than about love, belonging or the afterlife because of that. It's almost impossible for the general person to avoid debt in their lives, and everything is set up so that they break even just as they retire and go wrinkly and dull. Working a lifetime with the only reward being to break even, not even to get ahead a little, is a horrible prospect at 18, and yet almost all of you reading this have experienced it, or you will. Old philosophers naturally have nothing to say about these two forces that absolutely drains all of us of any 'will to life'. So the problem with learning what ancient philosophers got wrong is that it's only good for teachers. I advise you to only let them teach you the fruits of their own philosophical labor, if any. Ask your teachers why we're even talking about subjective topics that are not reasonable defined. And ask them to teach you how to NOT suffer for a lifetime.

You are so wrong when you say it is almost impossible to avoid debt. Many, many people do it. But like Nietzsche says "to reach anything worthwhile, to reach anything that is valuable you have to go through an extraordinary amount of effort". If you want money it is every where just open your eyes and stop feeling sorry for your self.

Firstly, I'm saying that today, just living, working, and raising a family costs money, and that infallibly meeting this cost for an entire life is nearly impossible and a primary source of unhappiness. Nietzsche did none of these things, and certainly he didn't "go where the money was" but instead went from school to the military to being cared for in the home. Nietzsche certainly wasn't one of the strong men he wrote poems about, and I'm fairly certain you're not, despite quoting him, and I have the suspicion you will find that out just by living life. Today, all the industries are getting extremely good at what seems their sole purpose, to eliminate expenses and especially, wages, so that even the source of money that could alleviate the collective unhappiness will make sure everyone just about breaks even. There are exceptions, and new companies will pick up some of the unemployed, but unemployment for several periods of one's life is inevitable for almost everyone in the developed world. There must be a possibility to build up private wealth from decent wage levels before this source of unhappiness is alleviated. You mention opportunity. For some individuals there certainly is, but for it to impact society at all, the only periods when the economy has seems to work for the people, the 1960s and part of the 1980s, must be the norm, and not the exception.

Studies show colonoscopy causes the momentary (and very measurable) happiness you speak of. I'm pretty sure that's not the point you wanted to make. Philosophy (at its best) deals with how to live a good life, which I think you agree is different from the sum of momentary happiness. Since that sort of happiness is not only subjective but also dependent of cultural demands of the time, happiness is an abstract and various tips from people of different times and cultures are quite inapplicable. If you are looking for true happiness, look to the people and movements who advocate subjective happiness and suggest abandoning cultural demands. That's the best anyone can do. There is no way to happiness that applies to all.

Some things Nietzsche said makes sense (with creativity and effort, turn a bad state into a good one, suffering comes from knowing and mastering the ingredients of happiness), other times I think he's frankly simplistic (happiness comes ONLY from struggle, he overstates our ability to change, the weak and stupid [implicitly] deserve contempt for that reason alone, others). IMO, following your deep authentic self's desires, and independent thought also lead to happiness, w or w/o struggle.

It is impossible to learn without "pain" just like it is impossible to grow your muscles without first tearing them apart. The thing that most people don't understand is that strong people do not experience "pain" as pain -- only the weaklings do so -- but as pleasure plain and simple. When one is overflowing with strength one is experiencing things differently than when one is exhausted. Namely, what is painful to you when you're exhausted is pleasurable when you're overflowing with strength.

Excellent analysis of the reason that suffering is part of the human condition. I've always theorized that suffering is the source of learning, if one chooses to make lemonade out of lemons. Suffering can often be the price for growth. I believe that learning is worth the price of suffering. My argument is somewhat inconsistent, because it is possible to learn without suffering. But as Walt Whitman once exclaimed, So, I contradict myself.

It depends. I've thought about this and concluded the following: that comfort and ease may be had IF they are deliberately and willfuly left behind periodically, so that they do not sap one's mental and physical strength. If that is managed and the necessity of this aproach understood by all concerned, by all means, give as much relief to others as you will. Indeed, I believe that mastering both comfort and difficulty is itself a form of strength.

I find that physiological tasks are much easier than mental for me. I enjoy thought and think regularly but it is much harder for me to read study and memorize, but it's easy for me to take existing knowledge and twist it and bend it into new ideas and connections. But physical tasks simply serve a shallow purpose, they tend to create a sense of false confidence but the confidence a strong mind creates can give you much more than a strong body.

9:01 I was never into that whole s&m "there must be pain for there to be gain" mentality, if it hurts, you're obsessed, and probably, not even doing it right, but whatever, you do what you want, although I'll tell you something, I'm not worth any less just cause I chose not to obsess and suffer. Now, 13:10 botanical metaphor, that's great philosophy, it's NOT an eye for an eye, the mirror is not there to reflect back what you have done, what goes around does NOT come around, the misery is instead processed into something good, if only society in general could exercise such a thing, but then, he says that the ugly had to be there for the good to come out of it, and I just don't go along with that.

Well, not quite. Suffering, for Nietzsche, is a necessary base for self-improvement -- or if you like -- progression on the path toward overcoming one's own self (i.e. the ubermensch). Suffering for suffering's sake or seeking simple diversions from suffering is indeed useless. It is just a fact that we all suffer, but Nietzsche advises that we see suffering as good and necessary rather than something to be avoided. Suffering, then, is the seed from which all great things must grow.

There is Nothing mad about embracing a horse for any reason. He actually saved the horse from being beaten by the carriage driver. He threw himself between the horse and the driver and said "Noooo, please don't hurt him." For 1890 or so that was unheard of. But for today it is common practice and it is our absolute obligation to save animals from being hurt.

The other extreme which Nietzsche talks about is when a body receives a lot of damage. In this case, it is wise to "put up with pain" instead of growing dependent on anesthetics (which do nothing but cure symptoms or, as the guy in the video puts it, dulls the pain.) This "putting up with pain" means nothing other than waiting for your body to properly recover from the damage.

Also, Nietzsche criticized those that said that genius is born and not made; he also took it in the context that would apply to a persons craft, i.e. in Nietzsche's case, a philosopher, or in modern terms, a basketball player. What Nietzsche did was work hard to become a great philosopher disproving that "the greats" are born and not made. More proof that his philosophy worked for him based on his goals; and because of his hard word and strong will to power, he succeeded.

Im confused about the contradiction between the part where nietzsche claims that endless suffering will make people happy, but articulates how he wishes he wasn't surrering as much (for example his looniness). is it correct to assume that the first bit is not meant to be interoperated literally for example, he doesn't actually wish for endless pain and torture?

Thank you very much for the video. I think there are scholars that don't believe Nietzsche had syphilis, and the account of the hugging of a horse is a conflation or a story that is not quite factual. I'm getting the idea that it is a story that tells a deep truth about the man but wasn't quite historically true.

It makes sense because suffering makes you a stronger person. I get it.

Maybe, but Nietzsche seemed to talk objectively rather than talk out of spite. But it's rather true that you are either identical or opposite to your parents.

I would end Nietzsche's philosophy with " the only way OUT is the way through".....or even Ryan Holidays book title "The obsticle is the way"

Allthough his argument against the idea of God is rational I also wonder wether his dad being a christian and dying so early had subconciously created in him a feeling of abandonment that subconciously made him want to grab his attention in some way by being something his father would hate because hate is better than indiference, which is the opposite of love. These contradictory thoughts could of created a lot of fustration and rage that would make him a difficult person to live with.

What if your goal in life is to make everyone's lives easier, and as a result, you are clearing many hardships in the process? Are you helping or making things worse?
