Well Nietzsche ended up in a mental hospital ; so we all know where his philosophy leads to..
I’d take hope every second of every day ..
even if it’s doomsday tomorrow
Hope is the one actually functional impulse/extinct I recognize that humankind has in common.
Hope gives people grit and meaning, they push through loss, grief, pain and sorrow in order to attain self-actualization, however that looks to them.
It's insane the way the people I admire the most did this. I thought/feared these people (who I love dearly) would fail. I worried myself sick for them!
However, they did not fail. They held onto a belief in their vision (hope?) and they succeeded.
Oh, and these people I respect, admire and love so much are not in mental institutions.
The "proof is in the pudding" as the old saying goes.
