Thus Spoke Zarathustra

I’ve been revisiting Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and something about his invitation to question inherited values always makes me smile.

Humans are remarkably good at creating rules, passing them down for generations, and eventually forgetting why they made them in the first place.

Then someone comes along and asks, “But why?”

And suddenly everyone is uncomfortable. 😂

I think there’s something wonderful about examining what we’ve inherited and deciding what still makes sense. Not everything old is wrong, and not everything new is progress.

Time changes things. Perhaps our understanding should change with it.
