Does the affirmation of life destroy pessimism?

yes

At first I read possession, does the affirmation of life destroy possession? Either its value or one's desire for it

[Anonymous No.10068453]

No, it hides in a corner, awaiting to backstab you.

Was NEETzsche our guy?
> “Those who commend work. - In the glorification of 'work', in the unwearied talk of the 'blessing of work', I see the same covert idea as in the praise of useful impersonal actions: that of fear of everything individual. Fundamentally, one now feels at the sight of work - one always means by work that hard industriousness from early till late - that such work is the best policeman, that it keeps everyone in bounds and can mightily hinder the development of reason, covetousness, desire for independence. For it uses up an extraordinary amount of nervous energy, which is thus denied to reflection, brooding, dreaming, worrying, loving, hating; it sets a small goal always in sight and guarantees easy and regular satisfactions. Thus a society in which there is continual hard work will have more security: and security is now worshipped as the supreme divinity. - And now! Horror! Precisely the 'worker' has become dangerous! The place is swarming with 'dangerous individuals'! And behind them the danger of dangers - the individual!”

Definitely not. It's purple prose. He could've summed it all up as
>all work and no play makes neechee a something something
What a something something
