>"He that humbleth himself wishes to be exalted."

Did Nietzsche actually think everyone who is humble secretly wishes to be held in a high regard?

>> No.4630267

It's just another one of those bitter statements that make it impossible for anyone to "win".

If you want credit for the shit you do, you've got an ego, and don't deserve it.

If you're humble, you're faking it, and trying to do reverse psychology on everyone.

it's not bitter at all, it's pro-keeping it real

I think it can be seen as an 'Ego is always present' statement.

"HE WHO HUMBLETH HIMSELF", NOT "HE WHO IS HUMBLE", IDIOT.

YOU OUGHT TO IMPROVE YOUR "READING COMPREHENSION".

FEIGNING A HUMBLE CHARACTER IMPLIES REGARDING HUMBLENESS AS A VIRTUE –IT IS NOT– WHICH ITSELF IMPLIES THAT ONE FINDS EXALTATION IN BASENESS, WHICH IMPLIES THAT ONE IS SPIRITUALLY, MENTALLY, AND/OR PHYSICALLY CORRUPT.

I agree with your overall point, except you're completely misinterpreting and misunderstanding the quote in question.

He who humbles himself is trying to be good, which will have exultation as a consequence. Nietzsche is just edge

humility is the word you're searching for

I COMPREHEND THE THAT QUOTE IS REFERRING TO THE "GOING DOWN AND SUBSEQUENT ASCENSION"; I WAS MAINLY ADDRESSING THE "ORIGINAL POSTER'S" QUESTION; THE "ORIGINAL POSTER" DID MISUNDERSTOOD THE QUOTE.

Being humble is entering a situation assuming you don't understand all the factors.
"Humbling yourself" is belittling your beneficial characteristic.
