Übermensch
An Existential idea from Nietzsche to obtain full power.
The Übermensch is Nietzsche’s ideal of a human who continuously overcomes himself and creates values after the collapse of absolute meaning, announced by the death of God.
Say Yes to life
For Nietzsche,
God is Dead.
What is left is to
create your own values.
Find your own path,
do not follow what
everyone is doing.
Be Unique.
Joyful affirmation,
like Joy Boy in One Piece.
Hug tragedy, conflict
and suffering.
Dance with them.
Expand your mind,
creativity and self-discipline.
Become a child.
Life as a continuous process.
Stagnation equals decay.
Challenge even your own
beliefs, habits or ideas.
Love life as it is.
Love yourself as you are.
Accept your destiny.
Amor fati.
Make music with your fate.
paint a work of art
with your experiences.
Practice Tai Chi with everything.
The Übermensch lives
as an artist of existence.
The Übermensch does not escape suffering — he dances with it. Nietzsche.
The Child Symbol
Nietzsche uses three metamorphoses:
- Camel – burdened by inherited values
- Lion – says “No” to old gods
- Child – says “Yes” to life
The Übermensch corresponds to the child.
