From “whatever” to “whatever it takes”


Nietzche on Hardship 1 of 3
Let us begin the year with hard truth from the ultimate secular humanist–Nietzsche.
Remember: difficulty is normal and any discipline is a voluntary living in “ice and high mountains.”
Or so sayeth the man who contracted syphilus in a brothel and probably spent the rest of his life
in a protracted manifestation of its most spectacular symptoms. Just saying.
