I Like Philosophy

I feel like Nietzsche has left us in a world that doesn't have any purpose or path to follow, trascendentally speaking: the exact word for that is: Nihilism. With his phrase "God is dead" he practically said that mankind has to create their own values and their own path. It seems that we (mankind) haven't reached or even realized this change, and it seems like if we were in the middle of nothing right now. So much to do yet, philosophically speaking.

I adore Nietzsche, but find myself resonating far more with the stoicism espoused by Marcus Aurelius.

@DanielChristensen As you may know, Nietzsche is really good when he is read carefully. Problem is when people see him only as an anti-christian when he is actually more than that. I like and admire stoicism too and how they accept life suffer.

Thanks for your comment.
