About Me

"I love the brave: but it is not enough to be a swordsman,—one must also know WHEREON to use swordsmanship!
And often it is greater bravery to keep quiet and pass by, that THEREBY one may reserve oneself for a worthier foe!
Ye shall only have foes to be hated; but not foes to be despised: ye must be proud of your foes. Thus have I already taught.
For the worthier foe, O my brethren, shall ye reserve yourselves: therefore must ye pass by many a one,—
—Especially many of the rabble, who din your ears with noise about people and peoples.
Keep your eyes clear of their For and Against! There is much right, much wrong: he who looketh on becometh wroth.
Therein viewing, therein hewing—they are the same thing: therefore depart into the forests and lay your sword to sleep!
Go YOUR ways! and let the people and peoples go theirs!—gloomy ways, verily, on which not a single hope glinteth any more!
Let there the trader rule, where all that still glittereth is—traders’ gold. It is the time of kings no longer: that which now calleth itself the people is unworthy of kings.
See how these peoples themselves now do just like the traders: they pick up the smallest advantage out of all kinds of rubbish!
They lay lures for one another, they lure things out of one another,—that they call “good neighbourliness.” O blessed remote period when a people said to itself: “I will be—MASTER over peoples!”
For, my brethren, the best shall rule, the best also WILLETH to rule! And where the teaching is different, there—the best is LACKING."

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

There is one being that I have thought of meeting. My shadow; he has climbed the highest depths without fear or doubt. He speaks only when there is a need to listen for he has shown me the secret of all secrets.
When darkness is the master of my surroundings, there is no better companion to disappear with, we are one and the same. It has been said: “ones first step into wisdom is to question everything--and ones last is to come to terms with everything.”
My shadow has truly mastered the art of merging with the void and coming to terms with it; from there it is no longer a bother for him to return into the realm of form. Who better to fallow then?
“Our bodies are given life from the midst of nothingness. Existing where there is nothing is the meaning of the phrase; “emptiness is form.” One should not think that these are two separate things.”

    The Greatest Riddle?
What would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail?

    Missing the boat in life?
"Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death."

Arms Of Fate. -

To live is to die. To die is to be in the hands of fate. To be in the hands of fate is to be held by the arms of nature. No one has ever seen the body that guides those arms; this is the dream of man....
