I’ll pick one, and you the other.

“The spontaneous but disciplined mode of life that both has confronted the death of God and also has gotten over the feeling that something is missing when God dies. Freed from the craving for metaphysical comfort, such a life is restored to the ‘innocence of becoming.’” -Intro to Twilight of the Idols

To thus should one strive, or from thus should one flee? To live in comfort, or live with no need for comfort. Which is truly preferable? Can one be truly preferable? Does it matter?...

Let’s hold hands and count to three.

I’ll pick one and you the other.

I live in pain and misery,

While you excite and bounce with glee.

Did you pick first or was it me?

Now, it’s my turn to bounce with glee.

Let’s again hold hands and count to three.

Why won’t you anymore play with me?

Because I picked one, and not the other...
