I am too inexperienced in philosophy to appreciate Nietzsche. However, whenever I read his works, I can relate to them; not as a body of thought but at a more atomic and practical level.
As I hastily try to finish and selectively forget a chapter in my life, the following lines [Text Courtesy: Project Gutenberg] struck a chord:
The Superman is the meaning of the earth. Let your will say: The Superman SHALL BE the meaning of the earth!
And here ended the first discourse of Zarathustra, which is also called "The Prologue": for at this point the shouting and mirth of the multitude interrupted him. "Give us this last man, O Zarathustra,"—they called out—"make us into these last men! Then will we make thee a present of the Superman!" And all the people exulted and smacked their lips. Zarathustra, however, turned sad ...
Nietzsche also says that God has died and we all desire for the Superman to live. I wish he is wrong about it.
But, the mirth of the multitude, more so today, proves that Nietzsche is right.

We need God not for our victories or the bounty on Land, Nero but to protect us from ourselves.- Seneca
