Over a year ago, I wrote this post in which I explained a dynamic that has endured throughout my whole marriage with Wife, and which (I now come to realize) has not been serving me one little bit. It's hard to summarize, so I encourage you to follow the link and remind yourself what it was about.
He also managed to explain in 26 words what it took me a post of 1478 words to spell out, which makes my writing something like 57 times as ponderous and verbose as Nietzsche's. The man really wrote well.
Our text for this lesson comes from Thus Spoke Zarathustra, part one, essay nineteen, "On the Adder's Bite":
It is nobler to declare oneself wrong than to insist on being right -- especially when one is right. Only one must be rich enough for that.Damn, I wish I had understood that when I first read it!
