Zarathustra

Zarathustra

Stop following me. I am now going alone, and you should also go alone!

Perhaps you are deceived by me. Guard yourself and think for yourself.

This is the important message of the book. In the next chapter, I will show you why.

Why Would Anyone Not Want Followers?

Why Would Anyone Not Want Followers?

When someone is following you, their perception of reality has changed.

  • They are viewing the world through your eyes. 
  • Believing your perception.
  • Living by your rules.
  • And most importantly, they stop discussing important topics with you.

Map of the World

Map of the World

What if I gave you a map? Would you know where the mountains and rivers are, or where the forests are located? Not particularly!

Important Message

Important Message

Nietzsche is not advising us to not take advice and opinions from others. He is simply reminding us to think independently and see the whole situation through our own eyes.

Make choices based on our own opinions, ideas, and research. Always strive to think as best as you can. Do things based on your own best thinking.

LEO TOLSTOY

“Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their own customs, privileges, or beliefs. This state of mind is not common, but it is essential for right thinking...”
