To live is to suffer - Friedrich Nietzsche (A story)
This story explores Friedrich Nietzsche's profound assertion: “To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.” Through the lens of Nietzsche’s life-marked by illness, isolation, and resilience-it examines how his philosophy arose from personal struggles and became a universal guide for navigating hardship. The narrative follows Maya, a grieving young woman, as she transforms her pain into purpose, embodying Nietzsche’s call to rise above suffering. Connecting past wisdom with modern challenges, this story shows how meaning can emerge from even the darkest moments of life.

    I’ve never seen a photo of Satre in which he wasn’t wearing a suit, white shirt, and tie. So he was conforming or accommodating to some ideal image of how a professional businessman should look. He could have dressed like an artist or a more rebellious college professor. So even Sarte didn’t entirely escape certain conventional , societal norms and influences embodied in his image of his presentations of self despite his existential awareness of these influences.

    The simple truth that "I think therefor YOU are!" proves that Descartes' initial search for 'Universal Truth' had failed. He never crawled from the Pit of duality. Thus the foundation of his and 'western philosophy' fails, thus... Until the update. The critically updated version of the 'Cogito' is; "Thoughts are perceived/appear, therefore an apparent 'I' to think 'I am'!" Thought = Ego!

    I’m my own worst enemy is how I see it because I am the responder and could care less for approval when I found out that it is I who has to approve of my self due to experimenting on leaning toward the opposing forces of thoughts/perceptions/feelings/sensations. But it’s easy to understand why people are so agitating when they display abusive tendencies. It is challenging to be free of the influence of others, but there are episodes of freedom so we know that freedom of suffering does exist. To maintain the freedom is how our journey unravels. Hell is losing our own peace. It resides in becoming increasingly aware but how to keep equanimity is indeed our way to peace ending the suffering as the word hell is another word for suffering.

    Sartre was the father, not of existentialism, but of miserable looks. On a more serious note, Sartre could not have been more wrong. I think he drank too much coffee or smoked something he should not have. Hell is our self. Freedom is, in Zen, Mushin or 'no mind'. Rumination, neurosis, the default mode, negative thinking, self criticism, evaluation and judgement, these are the means by which we build our own prison walls and torture ourselves. Hell is a place of our own creation. In its place, we can achieve nirvana. The Buddhists figured this all out a long time a ago. The Europeans, Schopenhauer etc. discovered it, only recently. Be aware of your own thoughts and you are half way to freedom from them. We call it CBT. Buddha called it awakening. Its the reason why Buddha has a smile and Sartre does not. Cheers. -Daniel

  • @Giornalisti
    @Giornalisti 8 днів тому

    Sartre is overtly simplistic in his dramatic phrase hell is other people. Here is the catch. If you follow Sartre's view and do what thou wilt without consideration of others you run the risk of 1. Being an anti- social narcissist. Or 2. You end up self isolating, depressed, lonely and anti-social. Consider John Donne's line " No man is an island entire of itself." There is a more mature solution to the quandary set up in Sartre's No Exit. It is not given that the three persons will torment each other until death. In making this assumption Sartre is projecting his own misanthropic views . It's quite possible that the three help each other to survive their dire situation. That they get to like each other. There is a middle way to Sartre's sad extreme view. Consider the characters in Boccaccio's The Decameron. A group of people are isolated in a castle during the Plague. But they do not turn on each other and fight amongst themselves like self-centre children as Sartre's characters do. No. They do the opposite. They support each other by telling each other tales to provide relief from their confinement. Sartre's philosophy needs reappraisal.

    • @Notnohenceforth
      @Notnohenceforth 3 дні тому

      While I agree with you in the fact that love brings happiness (mostly) and that to love someone you need... well, someone, so "other people", I'm not sure you can say that love allows for the others to be heaven. Or in very specific case Scenarios. In fact, when delving in "No exit", you can find many instances of love between the 3 characters. But love between 2 characters ultimately brings to suffering, as it is unfulfillable due to the constant judgement of the third character So love is more like a double edged sword: Yes, it naturally leads to happiness, but there's also a lot of situations where it simply hurts more than it makes you happy. Be it because it's not reciprocated, because it's unapproved, etc

    • @mariomansuelli8967
      @mariomansuelli8967 3 дні тому

      @Notnohenceforth Of course I admit that love is not easy. But true love implies that you accept your vulnerability, because if you put the protection of your ego as a priority, you lose everything that has to do with love. I accept to be wounded by love. The symbol of Eros like a child-archer who throws arrows is significant; love may start as a wound, and that is the best start, it may help us to recognize that the person we love is a real other person and we can love her/him only as such. You are right in saying that love is like a double blade sword, but everything in life has this ambivalence. I found no help in philosophy to find a significant way in life. Only C.G. Jung has helped me to develop the approach that I feel it's the right method for me. About heaven, well, what idea do we have of it? Total safety? Full and endless pleasure? For me heaven would have no meaning if I were to be alone. That would be hell! I go on living the symbol of the Risen Christ who still has wounds to show to his friends, but the wounds that brought him to death have become sources of a new and fuller life. Thank you for the exchange of ideas. And please forgive me because in this kind of exchange we never know enough of each other's worlds of meanings.
