“The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche.

A lot of the mind control that the people of the elites use depend on taking advantage of herd behaviour, so I think some a lot of you might appreciate this quote from Nietzsche.

Nietzsche talked about the way being alone is neccesary in order to have the privilege of freedom.

I've always enjoyed it but not all the time of course. Traveling alone is fantastic since you meet so many more people.

Nietzsche always was a bit of a nihilist.

Nilhilists? Gross.

As a Cuban Jew, I typically operate from the Hindu perspective. In the Hindu tradition, the concept essentially know as nihilism essentially exists within a specific subset of our many lives. There is the part where we must work actively to lower our own ego and precedes that. It follows the period where we do not wish death but do not see others as an equal participant in life.
