More From Friedrich Nietzsche

Once we have forgiven, however, we get a new freedom to forget. this time forgetting is a sign of health; it is not a trick to avoid spiritual surgery. we can forget because we have been healed. but even if it is easier to forget after we forgive, we should not make forgetting a test of our forgiving. the test of forgiving lies with healing the lingering pain of the past, not with forgetting the past has ever happened.
Spiritual Pain Lying
Forget the suffering you caused others. forget the suffering others caused you. the waters run and run, springs sparkle and are done, you walk the earth you are forgetting. sometimes you hear a distant refrain. what does it mean, you ask, who is singing? a childlike sun grows warm. a grandson and a great-grandson are born. you are led by the hand once again. the names of the rivers remain with you. how endless those rivers seem! your fields lie fallow, the city towers are not as they were. you stand at the threshold mute.
Running Spring Lying
Only to the extent that someone is living out this self transcendence of human existence, is he truly human or does he become his true self. he becomes so, not by concerning himself with his self's actualization, but by forgetting himself and giving himself, overlooking himself and focusing outward.
Life Self Giving
Do you want a sign that you're asleep? here it is: you're suffering. suffering is a sign that you're out of touch with the truth. suffering is given to you that you might open your eyes to the truth, that you might understand that there's falsehood somewhere, just as physical pain is given to you so you will understand that there is disease or illness somewhere. suffering occurs when you clash with reality. when your illusions clash with reality, when your falsehoods clash with truth, then you have suffering. otherwise there is no suffering.

Forget the suffering you caused others. forget the suffering others caused you. the waters run and run, springs sparkle and are done, you walk the earth you are forgetting.

That this is the source of our fellow-feeling for the misery of others, that it is by changing places in fancy with the sufferer, that we come either to conceive or to be affected by what he feels, may be demonstrated by many obvious observations, if it should not be thought sufficiently evident of itself. when we see a stroke aimed and just ready to fall upon the leg or arm of another person, we naturally shrink and draw back our own leg or our own arm; and when it does fall, we feel it in some measure, and are hurt by it as well as the sufferer.
