"The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything." Friedrich Nietzsche
Something to think about of our evolution going in a wrong direction? One reason for our unhappiness, all around the world, with exceptions of course.
I also cannot help but wonder - what would have happened if Lou Andreas-Salomé's reaction was any different than what it was then. Maybe Nietzsche didn't go crazy? I mean eventually. Maybe he thought better about women in general than he did... But he couldn't because of Schopenhauer's influence on him? The times they were living in... one can think of so many possibilities...Just some thoughts. Can't help but it makes one wonder, doesn't it? And see how/what we can learn from our history.
