Glasses People Half

More From Friedrich Nietzsche

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. there are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. and then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. the world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: what's up with this glass? excuse me? excuse me? this is my glass? i don't think so. my glass was full! and it was a bigger glass! who's been pinching my beer?

And at the other end of the bar the world is full of the other type of person, who has a broken glass, or a glass that has been carelessly knocked over (usually by one of the people calling for a larger glass) or who had no glass at all, because he was at the back of the crowd and had failed to catch the barman's eye.

Moderation? it's mediocrity, fear, and confusion in disguise. it's the devil's dilemma. it's neither doing nor not doing. it's the wobbling compromise that makes no one happy. moderation is for the bland, the apologetic, for the fence-sitters of the world afraid to take a stand. it's for those afraid to laugh or cry, for those afraid to live or die. moderation...is lukewarm tea, the devil's own brew.

Courage is not a virtue of value among other personal values like love or fidelity. it is the foundation that underlies and gives reality to all other virtues and personal values. without courage our love pales into mere dependency. without courage our fidelity becomes conformism.
