intolerance of yourself

 Beyond Criticism

...the demonically sharp-witted Nietzsche once said that we feel very pleasant in nature because nature has no opinion of us.

Obviously...

...neither the trees, nor the flowers, nor the flies, nor the bugs, nor the donkeys, have an opinion of us.

Nature is a given and was handed down to us as it is.

Whether by Chance or by God, it was handed down to us as it is.

The city has an opinion of us...

That is, society has an opinion of us.

This is quite psychologically oppressive and annoying... usually.

In the city, we are constantly taking exams... either before others or before ourselves.

In nature, we simply satisfy our needs.

Simple things.

Ultimately, a large part of the suffering that man endures comes from society.

Because he cannot sit alone in a room...

...since he cannot bear solitude and introspection.

...therefore, he must be with other people and coexist with them and their flaws.

Hard things again.

People have an inherent tendency toward power and exploitation, which are two causes of great annoyance.

In the end, it is only with pets that we coexist on human terms:

they are fully submissive and fully grateful for a bone or a fishbone.

Pennies.

Prostitutes cost a fortune and sell a fake product.

Wives, even if they don't sell a fake product, want it all for themselves.

Only dogs and cats provide companionship, acceptance, and emotional support...

...without many demands.

...and without criticizing whether we became more successful than our best man.
