Chapter 73 The third part of the old list and the new list sixteen

Now the people whisper in all dark alleys: "The learned man forgets all strong desires." I think this new list even hangs high above the market: "Wisdom makes people tired, nothing is worth a moment, you should not desire it!" Oh my brothers, smash it for me, smash that new chart for me!The misanthrope and the preacher of death and the jailer hang it aloft; for behold, it is also a motto to slaves! Because they learn badly, instead of learning good things, they learn everything too early and too quickly; they eat badly: so their stomachs are hurt!Their heart is a wounded stomach: it persuades death!Verily, my brothers, the heart is a stomach!Life is a fountain of joy, but to the wounded stomach, the father of sorrow, who speaks in their hearts, all springs are poisonous.

Seeking knowledge: For those who have the will of a lion, that is happiness!But the man who is merely desired becomes languid, and all waves tease him. This is always the nature of the weak: lost in the way.Finally their ennui asks: Where shall we go?Everything is the same! They are most fond of what people say in their ears: "Nothing has value! You should not desire! ’ But that was a maxim about slaves. O my brethren, Zarathustra is like a refreshing tempest to all who are weary of the journey: he will make many noses sneeze! My breath of freedom even penetrates through the walls to the prison, to all imprisoned spirits!

To liberate people!For to will is to create!I teach like this.The only thing you should learn is to create! The first thing you should learn from me is the learning method, the excellent learning method. —Let him who has ears hear!
