Christianity remains to this day the greatest misfortune of humanity.

You tell me: 'Life is hard to bear.' But if it were otherwise why should ou have your pride in the morning nad your resignation in the evening?
Interpretation
What this quote means
Life presents challenges that shape our character and perspective.
Nietzsche's quote reflects on the duality of life experiences. It underscores the idea that while life may feel burdensome throughout the day, the struggle we face allows us to embrace pride and resilience. The contrast between morning pride and evening resignation highlights the complex nature of human emotions and the importance of confronting life's difficulties.

Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.
Friedrich NietzscheRead
Watch them clamber, these swift monkeys! They clamber over one another and thus drag one another into the mud and the depth. They all want to get to the throne: that is their madness β as if happiness sat on the throne. Often, mud sits on the throne β and often the throne also on mud. Mad they all appear to me, clambering monkeys and overardent. Foul smells their idol, the cold monster: foul, they smell to me altogether, these idolators.

And the greatest calamity that has happened to the human mind is that he is against death. Being against death means you will miss the greatest mystery. And being against death also means that you will miss life itself - because they are deeply involved into each other; they are not two. Life is growing, death is the flowering of it. The journey and the goal are not separate; the journey ends in the goal.
