Chapter 8 The Birth of Tragedy Vol 8 Part Four

tragic birth vol. the fourth part 166. In our own society All that is near to me in every respect of nature and history, constantly speaks to me, praises me, comforts me, and inspires me; so that I hear nothing else, and if I hear it, I immediately forget it. We can only live in our own society. 167. World-weariness and fraternity When we cannot understand and accept someone, we think they are sick.Misanthropy is the result of too much desire for charity and "cannibalism" - but who told you to eat human beings like oysters, my Prince Hamlet? 168. About patients "He's in a bad situation!"—what's going on!

"He was troubled by the admiration he longed for and found he could not sustain it"—impossible!The whole world honors him, not only in deeds, but in words too! "Of course, but he can't hear the voice of praise. When a friend praises him, it sounds to him as if the friend is praising himself; when an enemy praises him, it sounds like the enemy to him." as if demanding the same admiration; and finally, when other people—there must be many of that kind, after all, he is so famous!—praise him, he gets angry because they don't do anything to him. Friends, nor enemies. He will say: "I don't care what those people do, when justice is on my side, they will still pose to me!" "

169. Open Enemy Courage in the face of the enemy is bravery itself, and a man may well have courage and still be a coward or an indecisive fool. Napoleon's comment on Murat, whom he considered "the bravest man", is: open enemies are indispensable to some people, if he is to achieve his virtue, valor and joy. 170. Follow the masses A person who has been following the crowd is of course also a praiser of the crowd, but one day he will become the enemy of the crowd!Because he followed the crowd because he believed that his laziness would be beneficial, but he didn't realize that the crowd would not be as lazy as he!The masses are always moving forward!It does not allow anyone to stand still! —and he likes to stand still!

171. Fame When the gratitude of many to one person drives away all shame, then fame is born. 172. Misunderstood hobbyists A: "You're a hobbyist misunderstood-everyone says so!" B: "Of course! I misunderstood everyone's proclivities by looking at them from a group perspective—no group would ever forgive me for doing so." 173. True erudition and pretentious erudition A man who knows he is learned will strive to make his knowledge clear, but a man who wants to appear learned in public will make his knowledge obscure.The public, who thinks that the bottomless is unfathomable, steps into the water with such timidity and reluctance.

174. Divorce Parliamentary politics means that everyone chooses among the five main political opinions, and subtly curry favor with people from all walks of life who appear to be more independent and individual, and who like to oppose their opinions.In short, no matter whether one person's opinion suppresses the opinions of the others, or the others accept the five opinions, as long as he runs counter to the opinions of the five others, the crowd will oppose him. 175. About eloquence Has there ever been a convincing eloquence? Thumping drums, so long as kings have this magic weapon when they give orders, they must be the best orators and leaders of the crowd.

176. Mercy Poor rule (here refers to the princes who rule the gang - English translation notes)! Unexpectedly, their power has now turned into requests, and these requests sound like excuses!If they just said "we" or "my people" then that nasty old Europe would laugh.Indeed, a master of ceremonies in the modern world would try to make the small scenes fit into them, perhaps proclaiming that "the monarch obeys the nouveau riche." 177. On Education In Germany there is a lack of an important form of education suited to higher levels of people, and thus a laughing stock for higher levels of people, but these people do not laugh within Germany.

178. To Moral Enlightenment When Germans speak, the subject matter is inseparable from Mephistopheles and Faust, which represent two moral prejudices against the value of knowledge. ① Both Mephistopheles and Faust are characters in German legends, the former is the devil, and the latter is a man who sold his soul to the devil. Later, Goethe wrote the book "Faust" based on this legend. 179. Thought Thoughts are shadows of our states of mind, and so always appear vague, empty, and innocent. 180. The Scenery of a Free Man Free men are laissez-faire even with science—and they are allowed to, as long as the Church exists!So far, they've been pretty comfortable.

181. Leading and Following A: "As long as two people are together, no matter what their fate is, one of them must take the lead and the other follow, and the former is also superior to the latter in terms of virtue and knowledge." B: "What else? What else? Your words can be applied to others, but not for me, nor for us!" 182. Living in isolation When a man is alone, he neither speaks nor writes too loudly, for he is afraid of an empty echo—the judgment of the goddess Echo. When the fox is alone, everything sounds different. ①The nymph Echo, the goddess who lived in the forest in Greek mythology, was left out because she fell in love with Narcissus, and her lament remained in the mountains as an echo.

183. Music for a better future It seems to me that a first-class musician should know only the sorrow of the highest joy and no other sorrows.So far, no such musician has appeared. 184. Justice It's better to be robbed alone than to be with a bunch of scarecrows - that's how I feel.And in any case that's just a feeling, nothing else! 185. Poverty Now he was poor, not because he had lost everything, but because he had given up everything—what was there to worry about?He is used to finding new things. He who is ignorant of his lack of free will is truly poor. One eighty-six, ashamed

Everything he did was brilliant and just right—but he was still mortified, because the exception and the special were his job. 187. Disrespectful expressions The way this artist expresses his ideals—very good ideals—displeases me.The tone was intense and rambling, and in such a crude and exaggerated manner, that he seemed to be addressing an ignorant crowd.When we study his art, we can't help but feel as if we are "with rude people". 188. Work How close work is to worker, even in our most leisure time!The honest and humble words: "We are all workers" were considered a sarcasm and obscenity even at the court of Emperor Louis XIV.

189. Thinkers He was a thinker, that is to say, he grasped things more simply and concisely than the average person. 190. Reverse eulogizers A: "Only rivals can compliment each other!" B: "Yes!" But when that person compliments you, he will say: "You are my match!" 191. Counter-defense The most dishonest way to destroy a reason is to deliberately defend yourself with false arguments. 192, good man What distinguishes a good man with a benevolent glow on his face from others?They feel very at ease in the presence of a new man, and quickly charm him; so they wish him well, and the first thought is: "He pleases me," followed by engulfed expectations and desires. The joy of having. 191. Counter-defense Kant wanted to demonstrate that there was a way to dismay "everyone" who in fact was not wrong - a secret Kantian joke. He wrote against the learned, and for the prejudices of the common man; but he wrote for the learned, not the common man. 194. "Open-minded" people The actions of that man may spring from latent motives, for there are always communicable motives on the lips and outstretched hands. 195. Ridiculous look!look!He ran away from the crowd--and they followed him only because he ran ahead of them.They are really pack animals! 196. The limit of hearing We only hear about questions for which answers can be found. 197. be careful People don't necessarily enjoy communicating with each other, preferring to keep secrets. 198. The Distress of Pride The proud man is angry even with those who help him on his way—he looks angrily at the horses of his carriage. Ninety-nine, generous Generosity is often just a form of timidity in the rich. 200, laugh To laugh means to take pleasure in others' misfortune, but it is a clear conscience. 201. Applause There is always some noise when applauding, even if you are applauding yourself. 202. The spendthrift He has counted his fortune, and knows that he is not a poor man; and like a profligate god of nature, he spends his mind and soul irrationally. 203. The Eastern Fool's Problem Usually he is a thoughtless and useless person, but he often comes up with some bad ideas on unexpected occasions. 204. Beggars and Manners "It is impolite to knock with a stone when there is no doorbell"—all beggars and poor people think so, but no one thinks they are right to think so. 205. Need People think that need is the cause of everything, but in fact, it is often only the effect of things. 206. Meditation in the rain It's raining, and I think of poor people huddled together with undisguised care, all ready and eager to share their pain with one another, so that, even in bad weather, one can imagine oneself worthy of sympathy Please, this is the real poverty of the poor. 207. Jealousy Here is a jealous man -- he doesn't want children, he is jealous of them because he can no longer be a child. 208. Great people Because someone is a "great man," we cannot jump to the conclusion that he is a man.Maybe he's just a child, or the fickle guy of all ages, or the confusing girl. 209. A pattern of finding reasons There is a mode of seeking our reasons that not only causes us to forget our best reasons, but also induces a general distaste and disdain for reason in us—a very insensate mode of questioning, and indeed the method of a bossy man! 210. Diligent temperance One cannot expect his industry to outshine his father's—that would create a sickness. 211. The Secret Enemy To be able to keep a secret enemy at all times--a luxury that the highest human virtues seldom afford. 212. Don't let yourself be fooled His spirits were sluggish, he was always so impatient, and he stammered impatiently; so it was difficult to perceive the deep breath and the large chest in his soul. 213. The Road to Happiness A sage asks a fool how to find happiness, and the fool replies without thinking, as if he were asked the way to a neighboring town: "Praise yourself, and live on the street!" "Wait a minute," The sage shouted: "You ask too much, that is enough for you to praise yourself!" The fool replied: "But how can a person never be free from inferiority and praise himself?" 214. Faith is Salvation Virtue confers joy and happiness only to those who have faith in it, and not to the noble man who has scrupulous skepticism about it.In short, this is the so-called "delivery by faith"! —Look carefully, not virtue can save! 215. Ideal and Material You have a noble ideal, but are you noble enough to erect a majestic image of the will without showing the slightest trace of vulgar chiseling—a kind of blasphemy and disrespect for the ideal? 216. The danger of sound Loud sounds cannot make sensitive and delicate things respond. 217. Cause and effect In the face of the effect, people always only believe in other causes besides the effect. 218. My disgust I don't like people who always have to go off like a bomb in order to make an impact, and everyone around them is at risk of suddenly going deaf -- or more than that. 219. Purpose of Punishment The purpose of punishment is to improve the man who presides over it—this is the highest appeal of those who justify punishment. 220. Sacrifice The victim sees his sacrifice and devotion differently than the spectator, but they are never allowed to express their view. Two two one, understanding The understanding between father and son is often better than that between mother and daughter. 222. The Poet and the Liar In the eyes of liars, poets are mostly godmothers who only recognize milk; 223. Substitution of senses "We also hear with our eyes," said a deaf confessor, "and among the blind the one with the longest ear is king." 224. Criticism of Animals I am afraid that animals see man as a creature like themselves, and that there is serious danger from normal animal misunderstandings—perhaps they see man as an absurd animal, a ridiculous animal, or an unfortunate animal. 225. Nature "Evil has always had a lot of influence, and nature is evil! Let us be evil!"—so privately inferred that those big men who seek influence tend to exalt them too much as great men. 226. Skeptics and their styles If people's hearts are with us and they believe in us, then we can describe a most violent thing in simple and concise words.On the other hand, the skeptic puts emphasis on making things stand out. 227. Fallacy He could not control himself, so the woman decided it would be easy to control him, and broke away from her to pursue him--poor man, for a short time to be his slave. 228. Anti-arbitrator He tried to reconcile two resolute and decisive thinkers, the so-called arbitrator; but he could not see the unique side of the maverick, and felt that similarity and similarity were signs of insufficient vision. 229. Stubbornness and Loyalty Stubbornly, he quickly grasped what had become an obvious "motivation"—a "loyalty," he called it—from suspiciousness. 230. Lack of subtlety He has never been enlightened—that is because he has never been silent about the good deeds he has practiced. 231. "People who study hard" People with dull understanding always think that dullness forms part of knowledge. Two three two, life is like a dream We are dreaming if we are not totally dreaming, but in an interesting manner.So one has to learn to stay sane in the midst of fads—if not incompletely, then with an amusing attitude. 233. The most dangerous argument What I do or forget to do at this moment is as important as many great things in the past as they will be—and all actions are equally great or small when viewed in a wide perspective. 234. Condolences from musicians "Your life does not reach the ears of men, to whom you have wasted a life without words. And all the melodies, all the fanatical determination to follow or lead, are hidden from them. Find out , you don't parade through the streets to military music--but good people have no right to say that your life lacks music for that reason. Let him who has ears listen." 235. Temperament and Character There are many people who try to show his character very noble, but there is no relative improvement in temperament-many people do not. 236. Motivate the masses For someone who wants to move the masses, doesn't he need a stage to express himself?Or did he not reveal himself too clearly, and then waited for the vulgarity and innocence to reveal his personality and motives? Two thirty-seven, polite people "He's so polite!"--yes, he always carries little presents bribing Cerberus; yet so cowardly that he takes everyone, even you and me, for Cerberus s. ① Cerberus (Cerberus), in Greek mythology, the dog that guards the underworld, with three snakes and three heads, sleepless for many years. That's his "polite." Two thirty-eight, no jealousy He has no envy at all, but it cannot be regarded as a merit; for he wants to conquer the territory that has not been occupied by anyone, or even seen by everyone. 239. Unhappy people One unhappy man is enough to make a whole family sullen like a cloud; only a miracle can bring such a man out of existence! Happiness isn't contagious like that—what's the deal? 240. On the coast I don't want to build a house for myself (one of the secrets of my happiness is not to be a man with a house), but I will if I have to, like so many Romans who built their houses facing the sea. Place—I'm more than willing to share a few secrets with that beautiful monster. 241. Artists and Works The artist has nothing but ambition, so his work is nothing more than a magnifying glass for everyone to see from his perspective. 242. Attributes No matter how greedy I am for knowledge, I cannot annex anything other than what belongs to me—those things have other people’s attributes in them. How can a person be a thief or a robber? 243. The origin of "good" and "evil" He can only try to improve so that we can feel "this is not good". 244. Thought and Words We cannot fully express our thoughts in words. 245. Praise with choice The artist chooses his subject, that is the mode of his admiration. 246. Mathematics We should try to bring mathematical refinement and rigor to all learning in every way possible without holding onto the belief that "we should understand it this way."Mathematics is only one tool in our quest for universal and highest human knowledge. 247. Habits Habit makes our hands quick and our minds clumsy. 248. Books Why isn't there a single book for which we'd give up all the rest? 249. The exclamation of the knowledge seeker "O my greed! With such a mind there is nothing that does not interest me, except the whole of desire itself; and through many individuals it will be delighted to see everything as it sees it with its own eyes, and as with its own hand. To grab something.—The ego recalls the whole past, and does not want to lose anything that belongs to it! O fire of my greed! I shall be regenerated from a thousand individuals!" Two fifty, evil Witchcraft is considered an evil by most intelligent people, even by witches themselves; however, the evil is not really there.So it is with all sins. 251. Misunderstanding the Sufferers Great men suffer very differently from what their admirers imagine.In a certain moment of near-crime, they suffer still more from the struggle with the baseness and narrowness of their personalities; sacrifice or martyrdom. As long as Prometheus ① really sympathizes with the world and sacrifices himself for the world, he must be proud and happy of himself.But between being jealous of Zeus for this and the respect and love of the world for him, Prometheus will suffer a lot. ① Prometheus, the god of Greek mythology, was tied to the rocks of the Caucasus Mountains by the god Zeus because he stole fire from the heavens to humans, and let the eagles peck his liver. 252. I would rather be in debt "We'd rather owe people money than pay them money that doesn't have our stamp on it!"—this is our favorite style of ownership. Two five three, wandering like home One day, we finally reach our destination, and we'll be proud of the trek we've put in.In fact, we didn't realize that we were traveling far away at the time, so we should develop a habit of treating ourselves wherever we are as if we were at home. 254. Eliminate embarrassment For those who are devoted to God all the time, they will be free from all embarrassments. 255. Imitators A: "What? You don't want imitators?" B: "Yes, I don't want people to learn from me, but I want everyone to walk ahead of himself - as I did." 256. Cortical layer High-minded people know how to imitate the instant gratification of flying fish and play on the waves; they think that all the best is on the surface of things-their cortex. 257. Gained from experience A man often does not know how rich he is until he learns from experience that the rich can even have thieves in their hands. 258. Opportunity Deniers No conqueror would believe in chance. 259. Far from Paradise "Good and evil are the prejudices of God," said the snake. Two sixty, one plus one The words of one were held to be false, and the truth began with more than two—for one cannot prove himself right, and two would be irrefutable. 261. Creativity What is creativity?It is to observe something that has not been named, or that is seen but cannot be pointed out; since people are often guided, only a name can make a thing "visible". Most creative people are also the fate of things. 262. Eternal Sight A: "Once you withdraw from life, they will knock you out!" B: "That's the only way to share the privilege of the dead." A: "Share what privilege?" B: "No need to die." Two six three, nothing to do with vanity When we are in love, we always try to hide our shortcomings as much as possible. This is not because of vanity, but because we are worried that the loved one will be distressed.Really, lovers want to act like God, and it has nothing to do with vanity. 264. Our behavior We never know what we are doing except praise and blame. 265. Supreme Skepticism What exactly is human truth? —they are irrefutable errors of man. 266. Places that need to be cold Great men are ruthless to their base virtues and opinions. Twenty-six seven, high vision A man of lofty aspirations transcends not only his actions and judgments, but even justice itself. 268. What makes a hero great To face both humanity's greatest pain and its highest hope. 269. What do you believe in? I believe: the value of everything must be reassessed. 270. What is your conscience saying? "You have to be yourself." 271. What is your greatest danger? pity. 272. What else do you like? my hope. 273. Who do you think is worse? The one who is always trying to shame others. 274. What behavior do you think is the most humane? Make people not ashamed. 275. What is the guarantee of freedom? Stop being ashamed of yourself. 276. Feelings for the New Year I am still alive, I am still thinking; I must go on living because I must go on thinking. "I think, therefore I am." Descartes said. Today, everyone is free to express his wishes and beloved ideas, and of course, I also want to express my heartfelt expectations for myself, as well as some ideas that have arisen in my heart for the first time this year-these ideas will be my future life. The base, vows and seasonings.I want to understand the indispensable characteristics of all things more like pursuing beauty, and I also want to become one of the beautiful things, so that I will become my love in the future! I don't want to engage in ugly wars, and I don't want to sue anything, not even the accusers.Don't look at me, let that be my own personal negation!All in all, I hope from now on, wherever and whenever, to be just a yes. 277. Personal God There will be a point in life where, despite all our freedom, and perhaps more or less our denial of all primordial reason and goodness in the beautiful chaos of greatness, we are still in peril in the realm of knowledge and must face the hardest of attempts. Now, as the concept of a personal God presents itself to us for the first time with the greatest eloquence, and with the best advocates behind it, everything we touch becomes what it is when it clearly incarnates. Exist for the sake of perfection.Every day or every moment of life seems to yearn only for the newness of the situation; everything is left to it, for better or for worse, the injuries of friends, disease and slander, the loss of letters, the A sprain, a glimpse into a shop window, a violent argument, a book, a dream, the beginning of a bewilderment, all of which will manifest itself at once, as something "must not be missing"— It's full of deep meaning, and it really works for us! Would it be a more dangerous test to undo our own faith in the Epicurean God, and some restless and banal gods?Who can know every fine hair on his head?Who wouldn't be disgusted by a glib attitude?Nevertheless, we leave God (and the genius of economics and practicality) aside, and hope to satisfy our own assumption that our own interpretation and arrangement of every event has attained considerable proficiency both in theory and in practical application. the point.But let us not think too highly of the dexterity of our own intellect, and we are sometimes astonished at the wonderful harmony which is produced by means which play upon us—a harmony which seems too suited to us to be Dare to attribute it to ourselves. In fact, there is often someone who plays with us, the lovely Mr. Chance, who sometimes leads us to dance, and not even Almighty God can conceive of any music better than what our clumsy hands can do . 278. Meditation on Death Living amidst this chaos of streets, daily necessities, and noise often brings me a dark pleasure.How much enjoyment, anxiety, and desire, how much hunger, thirst, or drunkenness, manifests itself every moment here!To all these screaming, active, life-loving people, it's going to be quiet in no time!Everyone's shadow--his pale traveling companion--was always behind him!It's like the last moment before the moving ship is about to set sail: people have more things to say to each other, and the time is rushing every second, and the lonely and silent sea has been impatiently waiting amidst the noisy noise —so greedy and sure of its captive!In the course of life as a whole, if the past is a blank, or only a trivial episode, the immediate future is everything: hence the hatred, this crying, this deafness, and self-expansion!Everyone wants to be number one in the future—and death and peace are the only sure things about the future of everything!How strange is this one and only thing that is certain and universal to all, that preview has no effect on mankind, and those who consider themselves brothers of death are the furthest from death! It makes me so happy to see that people don't want to think about death at all!I shall not tire of reminding people of the deep concern with which the conception of life is concerned. 279. Star-like friendship We were friends before, but now we are strangers to each other.While we don't want to make it public or hide it, we should still feel the same way now, regardless of whether we've been ashamed of it in the past. We are two ships, each with its own destination and course; what is certain is that we will meet on the way.At that time, a grand banquet can be held as in the past; and the two luxurious ships will be quietly moored in the same port, bathed in the same sunshine.In this way, people may think they have reached their destination, when their destination turns out to be the same.But the power of each person's mission forces us to separate and sail into different seas, to different directions, and we may never meet again—maybe we will meet again, but we will not know each other because we are different. The seas and the different suns have changed us! "We must be strangers to each other." is the iron rule to which we must obey: that is how we become more sublime to each other!That is how our former concept of friendship becomes more sacred!On the route of sailing, there may be some huge invisible curves or orbits like planets, so there will be a big gap between them, or it can be regarded as a small stage on the way, and we should raise ourselves To this level!Yet our lives are too short, and our observations too limited, to appreciate the majestic possibilities of friendship. Although we must be enemies on land, we believe that our friendship will be like the stars in the sky.
