Self-Mirroring


Friedrich Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil is hard reading so far. Reading it through my obsession with Nagarjuna's Middle View, namely my fledgling self-feeding of it, is sort of waste of time, but not. 'Just in designation' and such passing remarks like something seeming to touch the depth but not like Helen Keller’s discovery of Self Love as the cause of more sufferings are really worth-learning. Can there be some German heaviness in it, something not like its witty compound words like Schadenfreude? Now everyone is posing as a philosopher. Yes, why not, everyone is one's own saviour as well as one's own detractor. Now a step misplaced is something like a fait accompli. Now it's all about skin-deep beauty. Now racking one's brain can be dubbed as 'nut', 'staid', 'boring'. Now sweet words do more for one's daily bread. That's our today's world roaring ahead like the natural resources embowered in its bosom are endless... Like we are so sure of
not dying tomorrow.
