This is how old i am right now when i am writing this. In two days i have my 22nd birthday. I would be beginning a much more independent life in 4 months. Would start a full time job as an analyst in a group which works as internal consultant to a division which works as technical expertise providers for a bulge bracket investment bank. Earn on my own for myself, live on my own. Things would be different. I wouldn't be a full time student any longer for atleast 3-4 years. Just wanted to introspect and put down in words a benchmark of ideas that would guide me in the next few years.
To put it Briefly it is my personal religious text. My journey, logic followed to travel to nihilism, my recovery from it and lessons learnt. My own story, it would draw from incidents within my life, conversations and experiences i had. This is not really a story ( though the whole process gave me ideas for future stories ). It would be most meaningful for me and less meaningful for those who are not like me.
Important notes:
The only way that this exercise is fruitful is by providing me concrete, proven, tested arguments ( should the need to argue ever arise ). By writing this down i aim to become more efficient. I do not wish to stuff my personal philosophy on people who i love. people who let live but i would protect myself against the tyranny of oppressors.
The will to power, that is why animals submitted to us. to make things submit is our basic
urge, it is more pronounced in some and less in others. similar are the arguments for will to pleasure and will to meaning. With Strangers/Friends my will to pleasure takes over, with foes will to power and alone i search for meaning.
A thing i find both beautiful and frustrating is validation of my thoughts from pre-existing knowledge. It is beautiful because my conclusions that i came up with on my own are validated by another philosopher or writer and frustrating because he/she came up with it before me. I like validation, because it is empowering but validation from existing sources means I am not the first one.Therefore i have provided footnotes which detail such
"philosophical deja vu's"
It is to be read in the order
Background ( भूमिका ) --> Way to Nihilism --> From Nihilist to superman -->
