Diagnosis: mild case of self-destruction
by 10loves10 @ 2005-08-02 - 13:16:46

So after about 4 months of being a non-smoker, a few weeks ago, I picked up a pack of good old Marlborough Lights and made a conscious decision to light up. Its not that I felt an overwhelming urge to suck on nicotine it’s just that I deliberately wanted to smoke. Self diagnosis suggests this to be a mild case of self-destruction. I think there’s something innately appealing in (mild) self-destruction, its one of those things. It’s like drinking one-too-many or staying in a barren relationship or doing drugs or sunbathing or skipping meals or smoking even, you know its bad for you but it sure feels good sometimes.

Has your self diagnoses revealed WHY it feels good to be bad to yourself?
Your body is your temple, remember. And your mind is your deity.

No my self-diagnosis hasn’t, but according to Nietzsche all that is bad proceeds from weakness. Which means I IS WEAK! Haha.
(Note to self: Must try harder. Haha)

I've replaced yoga for relaxing, with smoking for relaxing. Is this what Nietzsche meant when he said we should strive for 'active nihilism'? Or am I weak.

So confused.

This one’s tough.

According to Nietzsche an active nihilist is someone that’s prone to random destructiveness and moods of despair. So yeah, personally, I think I may just be an active nihilist with a weak streak. What do you?

I learn so much about myself everyday. Isn’t it great? Haha.

This is the morning for learning stuff!

Active nihilism is when the lack of a singular truth promotes freedom and creativity....and a deeper knowledge of the self...which, when I think about it definitely lends itself to self destruction and despair, which in turn lends itself to freedom and creativity.

So, yes! I'd definitely sign up as an 'Active Nihilist'

Something which simultaneously pleases and concerns me.
