Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?

Friedrich Nietzsche

In his well-known book “Beyond Good and Evil,” in which the above quote appears, German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche explored the idea of morality in a changing society. Nietzsche rejected what he perceived as false morals — values that benefitted the few while harming the majority. He pushed instead for applying free will to our lives and being honest about our motivations. To follow a predetermined set of rules, he argues, is often against our nature, and undercuts the joy of living. Nietzsche’s words invite us to reevaluate our obligations, nudging us toward the things that excite and inspire us in life.
