Nietzche or Gandhi?
Whose philosophies are more effective in advancing human societies?

The power of love may be the greatest discovery in human history. All the rest, including science, is window dressing. Otherwise, what's it all for?
Nietzche is important for explaining that the choice is always before us, and we may select our road freely. Beyond that he was a misanthrope, he lived miserably and died miserably. His philosophy did not liberate him. Excuse me, that matters.
Gandhi lived and died a truly free man, honored by (almost) everyone who knew him. Although he was one of the few genuinely Christian leaders in history, he did not consider himself Christian. But what is more important, the substance or the label? I say substance over label.
Gandhi. Hands down.

Nietzche was just so negative. All downer and blue.
Nietzche said things like, there's no God. There's no truth. There's no knowledge.
Gandhi was an activist.
Gandhi was all about change and growth for mankind. "Be the change you want to see."
I'd have to go with Gandhi.

A psychic told me I need to pray more. But I rarely pray. I consider it imposing my will on others the same as magic.
They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Suppose we live more than once.
A man comes back as a skid row bum, because he was rich before and didn't share. We help him to get on his feet. He
becomes wealthy again, and won't share.
He will have to do it all over again!
I put my requsests out there. And then ask that the Creators
will be done.
If one thinks we don't live more than once. Read Matthew 11 and 17. Jesus makes two references to John the Baptist as being
Elijah returned.
Revelation also tells John the Divine he will have to prophesy
AGAIN before nations and kings.
As well as there will be Two Witnesses. Some think Enoch
and Elijah, since they were both translated.
I feel it will be Moses and Elijah, since they were at the
Transfiguration on the mount with Jesus.
But if Elijah had to come back earlier to achieve something.
And will come again to turn the Hearts of the people back to
each other as foretold at the end of the Old Testament.
Then Moses could have been Enoch too!
THINGS THAT MAKE U GO HMMMMMM!

From a Christian point of view, both are essential. The power of will is necessary to do what is right and to resist evil, and the power of love is necessary to treat others with compassion and respect.

what's love and what's intercourse? in case you propose love on your loved ones, it extremely is constrained, in case you have love for each residing being, it extremely is unconditional and common love, is particularly like the affection a mom showers on her toddler, mummy's love. intercourse? that's in particular for producing offspring, carring on the genes. We people have a super form of LUST, below the hide of love. we've intercourse sooner or later and as quickly as we quarrel, do you think of you will make love after that? You be crammed with hatred for one greater, a minimum of for that 2d. on account which you're woman, merely think of, whilst some hansome hunk comes alongside and you sense very attractive, lots which you purely choose for to have intercourse with him to sense the exhilaration and exhilaration and each and all of the spectacular thoughts that your endorphines would be doing on your suggestions. Now, you come back close to him and without warning you notice your elder brother or your father. Now, do you nonetheless have the sensation of lust or intercourse? in case you very own LOVE ability, that of unconditional and common love for all residing creatures, it extremely is asserted as LOVE ability and it may do wonders for you. you could triumph over an entire u . s . with love! if it extremely is purely intercourse, properly, even animals are able to that, monkeys and canines, they screw one yet another and alter companions like no person's business enterprise, so, think of, are we like that and can we would desire to be like that? So, is intercourse ability super?
