Despair can be a leap for a new life

 

 

We know Nietzsche as a nihilist, but it is not. He said God was dead. It sounds tragic that these words can not give any expectation in the world, but he does not end here and speaks the concept of superhuman. The superman is a man who boldly admit that he is not afraid of God's death and that he is in any way responsible for it. God's death is not a tragedy but a starting point for him. It is nothing more than a new leap, a starting point for a creative leap, a helping closet. He was not talking about nihil, but about trying to overcome nihil.

We can see superhuman in this world so much. Even a Christian lives through the despair that God is dead. However, there are many people in this world who have overcome the fallacy of that faith. The person who struggles over the distress of that faith can keep faith until the end. I want to call this person a superhuman. Nietzsche said that he wanted to start from Godlessness and to overthrow it, but there is a man who finds God’s will and stand up even in a situation where he feels that there is no God. I want to call him superhuman. Sometimes we feel a more creative force in deep despair. Just like when you hit the bottom you get the strength of the reaction. If you accept it as God's will, Nietzsche's interpretation is not bad.
