What does everyone think about this quote from Nietzsche... “That for which we find words is something already dead in our hearts. There is always a kind of contempt in the act of speaking.”

Very good, I had the same thought yesterday. Didn't know Nietzsche also had it, maybe I should read him

I think his entire philosophy was motivated by him getting cucked by Salomé

I feel it's like this other quote:

>I mistrust all systematizers and avoid them. the will to a system is a lack of integrity.

When we try to convey what we are feeling into explicit language and listed goals we lose something in the conversion. We meaning we can convey is always narrower than the original meaning. Putting your thougths into words, and even putting your feelings into thoughts, increases the distance between the perception of ourselves and our actual selves.

Whenever someone on here asks for literature on modern Western culture, and they fail to find anything satisfactory on the subject, I always think something along those lines. Culture is something lived through, and the only hope of understanding it as an outsider is only by referring to the various conditions and products of it, and even then you don't really understand much of it, because the written form of it is a mere husk compared to the genuine moment of it that is lived. The cultured, in other words, don't write anything down, because they're cultured; it's only the uncultured who start to write anything, the children and descendants of the cultured who no longer really feel the culture of their parents, but feel its indirect (and powerful) effects.

It makes me incredibly sad that I think mostly in words and not in more abstract concepts such as what I truly feel, or taste. The conversion is always immediate and thus base reality is something I can never truly experience as just the experience itself.

I scoured the web for a source but couldn't find anything on its origin. This does not show Nietzsche, but is it the real Lou Salome? What's the context behind this picture?

Try breathing/mindfulness exercises. It helped with my intrusive thoughts, at least.
