On Enjoying and Suffering the Passions
I'd recommend reading this chapter for yourself before continuing, as I could never explain this text as well as the the author himself. Regardless, I took a lot out of chapter 5, book 1 of Thus Spoke Zarathustra, On Enjoying and Suffering the Passions. The consequences, those which we might predict the chapter to entail, seem massively understated in the discussion of Nietzschean philosophy; consequences which hinge on our understanding and comprehension of it (or lack there of). Nietzsche begins by claiming that our virtues(meaning here 'passion,') are in common with nobody-- only upon our (desire-to-have-)sureness of our virtue[,] do we name our virtue, which thus situates our virtue in common with other virtues and the people who hold them. This, is the danger which I believe Nietzsche predicted all-too-well.
