Take a quote from Nietzsche and explain it and then write something about Germany that interests you

Use the links on my blog page: Nietzsche, CIA WorldFactbook.

Professor.  I couldn’t find your link. All I found was a facebook with a CIA link that had nothing on it but advertisement of the site itself

I found a quote said to be from brainyquote.com of Friedrich Nietzsche  “We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving.  My head is spinning having gone through blogger like you said I should under your link.  I still don’t understand that platform for searching things. I’ll leave it at that.  I can’t seem to see the lecture you posted on day one anymore on Blackboard.  So I am using this Microsoft word-file as my medium.

This quote above in my document is hinting me that Nietzsche is complaining that society is trying to be spiritually repressed, and that he feels that it ought to be about his own experience of living life.  Since our lectures have pointed upon Nihilism with its history of being a story that life is lived in the moment without resistance, I gather that he is stating that people are being conditioned to behave with tradition that is holding one back from a real experience of their own. I also think that he may be stating that because he is experiencing his life to the fullest, he then feels satisfied with it as he uses words that could be of religious context to be heard more mainstream.

In recalling something I read about him in other quotes in other lectures from him, I visualize a person who is not wanting to live for others he never met, but for moments he is living in present in his surroundings.  Somewhere else I recall reading that he is sick in spirit.  I picture that he is not content on how society guides him to be as a person.

In regards to how Germany interests me, I would write that this Country was a raw place for many years.  People expressed freely their desires.  Unfortunately, I view this world where good and evil exists and clash.  I would never want to meet a person with this perspective.  I would in my opinion be like meeting evil.  Germany however, is a place of powerful history.  It is truly a unique part of the world where misery and evil were common thing and place.  It is amusing to understand how life can get so out of hand.  Germany is a tourism spot for me one day because it will make me feel something in the air that was once awful see in that era of war and unrest.
