Richard's Words

There used to be an individual who I used to communicate with and whom I still look up to highly, who once said the following statement which I recently came across with and I had to share:

"And then it happened, and verily, it happened for the first time! that his words blessed selfishness, the wholesome, healthy selfishness that springeth from the powerful soul."

Nietzsche teaches that there is nothing wrong with selfishness, and it is a form of guilt crafted by those who wish to manipulate. This life as you live is your own, and you must place your needs first and foremost. This does not mean you need to ignore the will of others, but you definitely need to give added weight to your own needs. Selfish itself is not a negative word when you break it down, but it has carried a negative connotation due to its misuse by people who want to corrupt its meaning.

Selfish - being of the self. Devoted to the self and the will of the self. What would happen if that very self was extraordinary? Then selfishness in this case would denote devotion towards an extraordinary will. There's nothing wrong with that so long as the will of the self remains virtuous."
