ABOUT THE VIDEO
_
In this video, I talk about Ecce Homo, Friedrich Nietzsche and how to become a great lover.
I think love means accepting the truest parts of someone while destroying the false ones, helping them to become who they truly are, the strongest version of themselves. But as long as I need you, I can’t love you. In his autobiography, Nietzsche wrote, “…One has to be set firmly upon oneself, one has to stand bravely upon one’s own two legs, otherwise one cannot love at all.” If I need you, if I can’t stand on my own two legs without you, I’ll use you like a crutch. Instead of accepting you as you are, I’ll shape you into what I need you to be for me. And in this way, I’ll make you false. I’ll make you into what I need you to be rather than what you really are. Without independence, it’s impossible for me to love you.
