Inspired by Nietzsche’s, Twilight of the Idols.
By believing that there is something greater beyond this world, something more true, more real, more perfect, more objective, we diminish the power of this world. Our world is reduced to nothing more than a stepping stone allowing us to reach some higher power. This world that we inhabit is the last stop. It is the only by chance that we are here on this planet, in this moment, breathing the air of the ancients, and reveling in the successful strife of those that came before us. Appreciate this world because it is our first, and our last stop.
Sound out the hollow idols that scared human beings erected; they posited some greater existence because they were to weak to survive in this one.
