I will play devil’s advocate. The most deluded people in the future will be Jesus followers, clinging to the promise of a better future in paradise. There are lessons to extrapolate—living in the present is truly important—but there is too much rhetoric in their words. I feel that Nietzsche’s Will to Power is an essential component of life.
All true Teachings speak of this experience. It is the birthright of each & every human being but cannot be understood from the mind, yet it is closer than our next breath Trying to understand it from the mind is like trying to lift yourself using your bootstraps.
