"""balance" is for the weak..."
how is balance for the weak? uncontrolled anger eventually corrupts without some emotional balance. mirrored in civilization violence eventually corrupts without peace. balance is definately important and not a sign of weakness, i would view it to hold much more strength than any one sided agenda. i view that as a greater 'weak mindedness'."

it has nothing to do with emotions... read your Nietzsche

"edit:long day didn't mean to sass :P"

no worries, I read it as a typical response...

"Until the situation changes and what was weak has becomes strength, in which the strong are without."

which never happens... in the words of Aerosmith... "Dream on..."

"Fraud implies as if I was selling some item, I am not, I was merely espousing my own personal values."

you were "selling" your belief system in the hopes and vain imaginings that someone else would believe as you do... and some very well may, that is beside the point...

"Conquering death while one can is not the sole objective for living; a mouse conquers death in it's ability to continue to live, but it does not represent it's role in life itself or it's experiances."

as I said, life is what you make it... if you wish to live as a mouse, that is your problem...

"To deconstruct Nihilism: fill in the void"

with puffery, make believe and metaphysical lies? or with slave morality, utopian fantasy, perfect worlds?

not today... you need to read Twilight of the Idols and The Genealogy of Morals

"No one knows for certain what lies beyond. To see it as absolute fact limits your mind's great potential."

to see it as anything else is illogical...

"No life can conquer death. Strong or weak, we all die."

I never said we didn't... WHILE one is living, one conquers death...

"Strength lies in testing your self and your character."

test to the standard of the herd?

you need to read Thus Spake Zarathustra


"I really like this jacket, but the sleeves are much too long..."
insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results...
