A single person, I need hardly say, is something subordinate, and as such he must dedicate himself to the ethical whole. Hence, if the State claims life, the individual must surrender it… All the worth which the human being possesses… he possesses only through the State.

For believe me! - the secret for harvesting from existence the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment is: to live dangerously! Build your cities on the slopes of Vesuvius! Send your ships into uncharted seas!… Soon the age will be past when you could be content to live hidden in forests like shy deer!

Friedrich Nietzsche  Famous Quote

If someone says that he cares for some individual, community, or cause, but is unwilling to risk harm or danger on his, her, or its behalf, he puts into question the genuineness of his care and concern.

added 3 years ago

Young people are socialized to feel fragile and overawed by uncertainty (and as a result)… the defining feature of the current Western 21st century version of personhood is its vulnerability. Although society still upholds the ideal of sel-determination and autonomy, the values associated with them are increasingly overridden by a message that stresses the quality of human weakness.

Friedrich Nietzsche  Famous Quote

This is one of the most urgent problems for civilized man. He has created civilization to give him security. Security for what? For boredom? His chief problem seems to be that most human beings need a certain amount of challenge, of external stimulus, to stop them from sinking into the blank stare and blank consciousness of the idiot.
