"Too much self-determination in the modern world." The claimed today Benedict XVI, during his homily at the Chrism Mass and indicate clearly the manager: Friedrich Nietzsche. The German philosopher, who died 109 years ago, according to the German pope "scoffed the humility and obedience as a virtue servile, by which men would be repressed. He has put in their place with pride and absolute freedom of man. " "The destructive pride and presumption - added the pontiff - break down every community and result in violence." Benedict XVI also attacked the conformism: "I'm not all too often prevailing opinions the criterion by which we measure ourselves? Perhaps we are not, after all, the superficiality of all that, usually, the notion of the man today? "
Once again, the Church gives evidence of his blindness retrograde, its closed-mindedness and ignorance. A Benedict XVI was not enough revocation of the excommunication of bishops fundamentalists, the excommunication by the Vatican of a Brazilian mother whose little girl raped nine years and had life-threatening abortions, and nemmemo serious allegations of March 17 about a condom during his trip to Africa " the AIDS epidemic 'is not exceeded with the distribution of condoms, even increases the problems'. (In 2007, according to the UN in the world were 33milioni of people with HIV, of which lived in 22milioni 'Sub-Saharan Africa, over two million people died of AIDS in Africa in 2007 3/4abitavano.)
I can not transcribe the sublime part of "Thus Spake Zarathustra" in which it is attached to the humility and obedience, characteristics Camel, doubled religious obscurantism and the weight of tradition.
"I will nominate three metamorphoses of the spirit as the spirit becomes a camel, the camel a lion, and finally the lion child.
Many heavy things are there for the spirit, the spirit lives strong and patient in which the reverence: his strength he yearns for heavy things, more difficult to bring.
What is heavy? the spirit of patient demand and bend your knees like a camel, and he wants to be well loaded.
What is the most burdensome by wearing heroes? asks the spirit so patient, so that I may take it upon myself and to rejoice in my strength.
Is not this: to humble themselves to hurt their pride? Let your madness shine to mock one's wisdom?
Or is, separate from its case when it celebrates its victory? Climb high mountains groped for the tempter?
Or: feed on acorns and grass of knowledge and because of the truth to suffer hunger of soul?
Or: being sick and sending home those who want to console you, and instead make friends with deaf people, who never hear what you want?
Or: go down in the dirty, as long as the water of truth, without rejecting cold frogs and hot toads?
Or: love those who despise us and offering his hand to the spectrum when it wants to be scary?
All of these, the most difficult to bear, the spirit patient takes upon itself: like the camel in the desert that runs in a hurry under its load, so he runs in the desert.
But where the desert is more solitary, the second metamorphosis occurs: here the spirit becomes a lion, its prey as he wants freedom and be master in his own desert.
here looking for his last master: the enemy of him and his last god does he become, with the big dragon, he wants to fight for victory.
Who is the great dragon that the spirit no longer wants to call Lord and God? "Thou shalt" is called the great dragon. But the spirit of the lion says "I want".
"Thou shalt" stands in the way, from a reptile scales glittering like gold, and on any scale is shining in letters of gold "you owe me."
Values \u200b\u200bmillennial shine on these scales and thus speaks the mightiest of all dragons: "All the values \u200b\u200bof things - shine on me."
"All values \u200b\u200bhave already been created, and I - all created value. In truth, there has to be no more "I want". " Thus speaks the dragon.
Brothers, because the lion is needed for the spirit? Why not just the beast of burden, which renounces all and is full of reverence?
create new values \u200b\u200b- of what the lion is not yet capable, but the freedom to create a new creation - is capable of this power of the lion.
Create your freedom and no one even to the sacred duty: to this, brethren, you need the lion.
Taking the right to new values \u200b\u200b- that is the most terrible act of taking for a patient spirit and worshiping. Indeed, it is a prey for him and the task of a beast of prey.
one time he loved to be the most the sacred "Thou shalt": now he is forced to find illusion and arbitrariness even in the most sacred things, to predict freedom away from his love: for this robbery should be the lion.
But tell me, my brothers, what the child can do, that even the lion was able to do? Because the lion prey must also become a child?
Innocence is the child, and forgetfulness, a new beginning, a game, a wheel rotating on its own, a first movement, a sacred say yes.
Yes, for the creation of the game, brothers, a sacred should say yes now wants the spirit of his will, the loss for the world to conquer his own world. Three metamorphoses
I have appointed the spirit: how the spirit became a camel, lion, camel, lion, and finally the child. -
Thus Spake Zarathustra. So he stayed in the city which is called "Spotted Cow".
