Wit & Wisdom

This post is about power of words.
If you read through this you will understand that a man of wit can convey greatest of concepts in very few words that man of lesser intellect would require tomes to explain.

Man I am talking about is Friedrich Nietzsche..
Nietzsche's influence is substantial in Philosophical system called Existentialism.
I assure you its not as boring as you thinking it is right now...keep the faith..

Existentialism:
“It is a way of thinking in which there is complete rejection of supernatural and man with all his basic instincts is considered as center of thought”


To grasp this fascinating concept just go through the beauties below..read & re-read it if u don’t get it first time. Then wait as the concepts start flowering in ur mind, then absorb & enjoy the lingering effects of the great wisdom.



“For men are not equal: thus speaks justice. “

Can u get more succinct view of justice in this world than. this ..one sentence and u know the state of world as it exists . ..aha..i said he Existentialist ..and now u know how good he is.

Take this one .. a one liner question .and I guess zillions lines are already written to answer this. .but it still persists…

“Is man merely a mistake of God's? Or God merely a mistake of man's? “


Find below a quote from wise man about wisdom…somebody once said wisdom is cleverness without all of its gut…it tells how wisdom can make u paralytic both action wise & thinking wise.

“Wisdom sets bounds even to knowledge. “
Take this …

“Morality is the herd-instinct in the individual. “

Morality as it exists..the craving of mortals like us to “fit in.”.to do as per the scripts handed over by society…. proves Darwin right ..we are evolved from animals ..or did we evolve at all ?


This one is one of my favorites …best Marriage advice . Keep the mystery alive. Otherwise it will become too boring…Married people will vouch for it ….

“One should never know too precisely whom one has married. “

Following two are by far sharpest & wittiest criticism on dogmatic religion ..and I bet you will get convinced if not then he will definitely confuse you..

“In heaven all the interesting people are missing. “

“I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time. “

These days every neo-psychologist guru tells you to be 100% involved ..
Below is the beauty I am going blah blah over but nobody tells u why .. Friedrich tells u why …

“Experience, as a desire for experience, does not come off. We must not study ourselves while having an experience. “

if u analyze ..if u keep vigil while doing an act then u r but deprived of pure instantaneous orgasm of the moment…something lacks ..this is a precise reason why many people have empty feeling ..or “Something-is-missing” feeling even if they are having there most anticipated experiences coming through, the internal comparison between anticipation & actual ..takes u away from moment …
Exist..purely exists and enjoy…...

“If a person has character, he still has his typical experience, which always repeats itself.”

And they say u should have character …..ha ha…. ha..
cant u smell the origin of boredom in this ..profound isn’t it ?
if u are bored at least u can convince ur self that at least u have a character. and if u are not .Be happy and thank urself for being humanly virgin… new each day ..a rare gift I tell you…


This one is mirror for all self declared “I-don’t –have ego” types.
Guys read ..and acknowledge it…for your own’s sake.

“Anyone who despises himself nonetheless still respects himself as the one doing the despising.”Difficult….err.. don’t give up ..read it again..its a beauty I tell you…

Nietzsche had a great gift for making precise general observations of the matters of world…..read my words again I said precise ..and then I said general.. Contradiction right ?
read below and u will know why.

On Woman :

“Women always have behind all personal vanity still their impersonal contempt for "woman."


“When a woman has scholarly inclinations, then something is usually wrong with her sexuality. Infertility itself tends to encourage a certain masculinity of taste, for man is, if I may say so, "the infertile animal”

“Maturity in a man: that means having found once again that seriousness which man had as a child, in play.”



We have heard the much worn out quote that
Love is mystery ..but why it is a mystery ? ..i think it is a mystery because following question remains unanswered ….

“To discover that one is loved should really bring the lover down about his beloved. "How's that? Is this person modest enough to love you? Or stupid enough? Or—or—. . ."




I guarantee every poet will be taken aback by following accusation and if he is true to himself, he will plead guilty .

“Poets are shameless about their experiences: they exploit them. “

The ultimate answer to “why this had to happen to me ..what did I do now “ The impersonality of ultimate Karmic Law explained with all its cruelty & supremely inviolable consistency.

“The consequences of our actions grab us by the hair, extremely indifferent to whether we have "improved" in the meantime.”
I like Nietzsche, because he is the child from a story who told the king that he is naked. He will strip u and show u the mirror ..Then he will tell u to asses ur self as u are ..as you exists and he will also tell u about ur opponent ..the world as it exists..no frills and no chip thrills..no fairy tales & no ageless angels ..Pure raw humanity and Pure raw world as it exists.

I hope u liked what u read .. Now just to end this ..definition of Existenalism one more time now…its not as difficult concept as it sounds right ???..No need to scroll up again..here it is for you…

Existentialism:
“It is a way of thinking in which there is complete rejection of supernatural and man with all his basic instincts considered as center of thought”

Now send me your comments & thoughts on this …unedited, uncensored and pure as they exist!!
