>read Nietzsche
>think this sounds great and is full of poetic power, but it simply isn't philosophy
>get older and re-read Nietzsche
>realize he was right about everything and the only reason I doubted him was the default of assuming myself to hold the superior qualities he described
>I now recognize and no longer have this temptation and realize I'm exactly what Nietzsche described but only when he referred to the Untermensch
If you don't read Nietzsche and learn a healthy hate of yourself, you haven't understood him.

>We should notice at once that in this first kind of morality the opposites "good" and "bad" mean no more than "noble" and "despicable" - the opposition between "good" and "evil" has another origin. The despised one is the coward, the anxious, the small, the man who thinks about narrow utility, also the suspicious man with his inhibited look, the self-abasing man, the species of human dogs who allow themselves to be mistreated, the begging flatterer, above all, the liar: - it is a basic belief of all aristocrats that the common folk are liars. "We tellers of the truth" - that's what the nobility called themselves in ancient Greece. It's evident that distinctions of moral worth everywhere were first applied to men and later were established for actions; hence, it is a serious mistake when historians of morality take as a starting point questions like "Why was the compassionate action praised?" The noble kind of man experiences himself as a person who determines value and does not need to have other people's approval. He makes the judgment "What is harmful to me is harmful in itself." He understands himself as something which in general first confers honour on things, as someone who creates values. Whatever he recognizes in himself he honours. Such a morality is self-glorification. In the foreground stands the feeling of fullness, the power which wants to overflow, the happiness of high tension, the consciousness of riches which wants to give and deliver: - the noble man also helps the unfortunate, however not, or hardly ever, from pity, but more in response to an impulse which the excess of power produces. The noble man honours the powerful man in himself and also the man who has power over himself, who understands how to speak and how to keep silent, who takes delight in dealing with himself severely and toughly and respects, above all, severity and toughness.

Women tend to age differently than men, first from birth to about fifteen, then not again till the age of forty, if she is above average. Else she remains adolescent of mind all her life.
