who elses in here?





how many?




mmm... i remember a

green point thing, telling me something bout it.

what the fuck!

yeah, if theres someone here who consider the Zaratustra book their Bible

'The Zarathustra book'

Fucking hell. You consider it your 'bible' (the fact you refer to it as that is representative of the fact you still hold chirstian values) and yet you cannot name it?

Are you lazy or just fuck-witted?

yeah wouldnt call it my bible, but it's pretty good, although studying it took a lot of the joy out of it, haha. some pretty mad stuff going on in there

itsgay

so? the word bible means the books of books so i consider zaratustra to be that.
and i dont find any atheism in that book, you have to learn how to read it.

it's ZARATHUSTRA, you dimwit.

i read it in spanish so i write it in spanish, you asshole.

I dont see any notice or sign of letting only english spoken persons allowed in here. You are the one who has to adapt to the fact that this is a free COMMUNITY with members of all around the world.

what is in a persons heart comes out in their speech....we can tell alot from someones speech/thoughts:

Pretty much. Love:

XVIII. Old and Young Women.


Everything in woman is a riddle, and everything in woman hath one solution --it is called pregnancy.

Man is for woman a means: the purpose is always the child. But what is woman for man?

Two different things wanteth the true man: danger and diversion. Therefore wanteth he woman, as the most dangerous plaything.

Man shall be trained for war, and woman for the recreation of the warrior: all else is folly.

Too sweet fruits--these the warrior liketh not. Therefore liketh he woman;--bitter is even the sweetest woman.

Better than man doth woman understand children, but man is more childish than woman.

In the true man there is a child hidden: it wanteth to play. Up then, ye women, and discover the child in man!

A plaything let woman be, pure and fine like the precious stone, illumined with the virtues of a world not yet come.

Let the beam of a star shine in your love! Let your hope say: "May I bear the Superman!"

In your love let there be valour! With your love shall ye assail him who inspireth you with fear!

In your love be your honour! Little doth woman understand otherwise about honour. But let this be your honour: always to love more than ye are loved, and never be the second.

Let man fear woman when she loveth: then maketh she every sacrifice, and everything else she regardeth as worthless.

Let man fear woman when she hateth: for man in his innermost soul is merely evil; woman, however, is mean.

Whom hateth woman most?--Thus spake the iron to the loadstone: "I hate thee most, because thou attractest, but art too weak to draw unto thee."

The happiness of man is, "I will." The happiness of woman is, "He will."

"Lo! now hath the world become perfect!"--thus thinketh every woman when she obeyeth with all her love.

Obey, must the woman, and find a depth for her surface. Surface, is woman's soul, a mobile, stormy film on shallow water.

Man's soul, however, is deep, its current gusheth in subterranean caverns: woman surmiseth its force, but comprehendeth it not.--

Then answered me the old woman: "Many fine things hath Zarathustra said, especially for those who are young enough for them.

Strange! Zarathustra knoweth little about woman, and yet he is right about them! Doth this happen, because with women nothing is impossible?

And now accept a little truth by way of thanks! I am old enough for it!

Swaddle it up and hold its mouth: otherwise it will scream too loudly, the little truth."

"Give me, woman, thy little truth!" said I. And thus spake the old woman:

"Thou goest to women? Do not forget thy whip!"--

Thus spake Zarathustra

brain. doesn't understand anything in this thread. I'm leaving.

kind of yeah. but it has a lot to do how you interpret it.
Hitler definitely interpreted it wrong.

Thus spoke Zarathustra is also easier to read then his other books, i find.
I like the metaphors he made with nature.

Really? That's awesome. Most people think it's one of his least accessible books. Not that that means anything. I think its because its all hyperbole and metaphor. I dont really find any of them hard (just because Ive read them so many time) , but I reckon that Zarathustra is probably the second hardest to understand after The Bitrh of Tragedy. The easiest is 'On the Geneology of Morals'.

My most prized book is Schopenhauers 'essays'. I consider this book a veritible bible from which I can divine an answer to any of lifes problems.

Steven Pinkers 'How the Mind Works' is my bible for philosophy these days.

Will Durants 'The Lessons of History' is sublime reading every time I go at it. This books gives me full body orgasm.

On fiction again, 'The Brothers Karamazov' is high philosophy. That 'Grand Inquisitor' passage made me cry tears of rapture.

I have many bibles. I hope I find many more.
