Ahhh Nietzsche… Born in 1844 in the small town of Röcken, Germany, this fiery thinker was a revolutionary who fascinated the human soul with both his mind and his pen, while also giving it a slight shiver. His philosophy confuses your mind on one hand, while inviting you onto the stage of your own life on the other. For Nietzsche, philosophy was far more than the cold pages of textbooks; he treated life as a laboratory and humans as the center of the experiment.
“Man must overcome himself. He must create his own rules and learn to live his own life.”
And here comes the Übermensch (Overman/Superman)… A soul freed from the chains of the ordinary, creating his own values, embracing life passionately, free and courageous. The Übermensch approaches life not just as an observer, but as a creative dancer. 💃🖤
🔹 Life’s Rules or Your Own Rules?
Nietzsche’s philosophy is such an invitation: question every rule!
Do you take your morning coffee black or sweetened? It’s not just about taste; it’s an expression of your existence 😎☕
Your work life? Are you following others’ expectations, or pursuing your own passion? Nietzsche says:
“Be brave. Drawing your own path is far superior to living in the shadow of others.”
Every choice, every action, is a manifestation of your existence. Latte or Americano? Or maybe today you should go wild with a Mocha… Life itself is an experiment, and you are the protagonist 😏✨
🔹 Challenges, Pain, and Strength
Nietzsche’s life was as turbulent as his philosophy. His health deteriorated at 20, love brought pain, and academic conflicts and illness often tested him. But my love, Nietzsche saw these hardships as tools for philosophical empowerment. Pain guides humans to surpass their limits and create their own values.
“Whatever pain there is, overcoming it brings you one step closer to the Übermensch.”
So a bitter cup of coffee might just be a small experiment strengthening your soul. 😎☕💥
🔹 Examples from His Works
1. Thus Spoke Zarathustra (Also sprach Zarathustra, 1883–1885)
Here, Nietzsche presents the Übermensch in a story-like way. Zarathustra addresses people:
“Overcome yourselves! Walk toward your own star!”
Zarathustra’s journey is both educational and fun. Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you’re confused, but most importantly, you start reflecting on your own life.
2. Beyond Good and Evil (Jenseits von Gut und Böse, 1886)
Nietzsche questions moral conventions. Good and evil—just limits set by others. He says:
“Create your own values; don’t just read someone else’s book.”
Here, he acts both as a philosopher and a life coach 😂
3. Aphorisms and Sayings:
- “You are the one who must create the meaning of life, not others.”
- “Those who can carry their own burden deserve freedom.”
- “Smile and challenge the world; life loves the brave.”
🔹 Übermensch and the Dance of Life
To be the Übermensch means to feel the rhythm of life, create your own values, and dance freely with every step. Nietzsche describes life as:
“Life is a dance floor; the brave create their own steps.”
Whether it’s starting your day with coffee, going for a walk, or chatting with a friend… it’s all a kind of dance, because every choice, every move, is part of your rhythm. 💃🖤
🔹 Nietzsche’s Humorous Side
But my love, Nietzsche was so profound that sometimes you think, “Is he as serious as Martin Heidegger, or could he crack a smile?” 😅 The funny part is that his deep seriousness makes us question life. Even eating a sandwich you might ask:
“How does this act affect my journey toward becoming the Übermensch?”
Sometimes eerie, sometimes hilarious 😂
🔹 Nietzsche’s Philosophical View on Life
Nietzsche shows us that life is about:
- Creating your own values,
- Finding your own rhythm,
- Dancing boldly and freely…
Every moment is an experiment, every moment an opportunity. And my love, the best part: living consciously, making brave choices, and savoring the freedom 💫
“Walk toward your own star; life is your stage.”
So my love… be a little like Nietzsche: notice every moment, question, be brave, and dance passionately through life. But of course, drink your coffee, smile, and don’t forget to have fun 😏💖
