Nietzsche: Question #3

The only advice I would give an individual human being would be to not accept advice at all. You must break from the bonds others have placed upon you. All we know of our existence is that it is finite; one day we all will die. how you deal with this inevitability is your choice. You can live in despair, or you can celebrate the fact that in this present moment, you are not yet dead. the only thing that should matter to you is your own existence and your own celebration of this existence. That is why you must break free of society's many entrapping arbitrarily emplaced values. if you are to live in celebration instead of, or perhaps in spite of, despair, then you must recognize that other people's values do not necessarily apply to yourself. if you are to enjoy your time here, you need to develop your own value system, based upon yourself and yourself alone, and apply it to your everyday life. For it is only through this self-reliance that we can realize our true potential; it is the only way to achieve our will to power, our drive to gain control of our own lives; it is the only way to become the Übermensch.
