i know nietzsche loved his zarathustra but i hate it-- it's grandiose, juvenile, and silly. beyond good and evil is where it's at.

eh, the book kind of "fit" my mindset for a while.

There may not be much difference
Between Chairman Mao and Richard Nixon
If we strip them naked

There may not be much difference
Between Marilyn Monroe and Lenny Bruce
If we check their coffins

There may not be much difference
Between White House and Hall of People
If we count their windows

There may not be much difference
Between Raquel Welch and Jerry Rubin
If we hear their heartbeat

We're all water from different rivers
That's why it's so easy to meet
We're all water in this vast, vast ocean
Someday we'll evaporate together

There may not be much difference
Between Eldrige Cleaver and Queen of England
If we bottle their tears

There may not be much difference
Between Manson and the Pope
If we press their smile

There may not be much difference
Between Rockefeller and you
If we hear you sing

There may not be much difference
Between you and me
If we show our dreams

We're all water from different rivers
That's why it's so easy to meet
We're all water in this vast, vast ocean
Someday we'll evaporate together

What's the difference?
What's the difference?

There's no difference!
There's no difference!
What's the difference?

the reason i don't want to bring it up is because my answer is going to be "it's a very fun book".

i get the symbolisms and all that shit but overall, i rather read it like a straight narration of some crazy hermit coot who runs into tons of people who know him and tells them weird shit (not to mention his dr doolittle moments). i see how someone can look at it as the new bible for a new living, "god is dead" and all that shit but i certainly don't feel my beliefs challenged at all.

it is an enjoyable book, but if i were to have a conversation with a philosophy major and tell those words to him/her, the response would be "you're an idiot"...actually, i'd love to say that to a philosophy major just to see the irritation on his/her smug face.

...i forgot what else i wanted to write here, i'll post it when i remember.

ED: ahh yeah, i remember.

to me it's like amateur guemará or talmud stories.
