Can man ever save himself?

Question

For example where is the superman Nietzsche talked about? I think this would be about I good time to come!! =Z 14 years ago would of been better (Im 14)

So my Q, is can man EVER save himself...???

Answer 1

Save ourselves from what? Ourselves? We may seek an excellence from within ourselves but the wish to save oneself from oneself is a slavish sort of self-hatred.

Nietzsche's Übermensch is no savior; he is a next step. He is a man who can step over himself and act as "judge and avenger of [his] own law.” He feels no need for salvation because he is responsible for himself and affirms himself; such a man is confident in himself and feels no failing from which he requires a salvation. If you create yourself and take full responsibility for yourself salvation is nonsense. Only a man who is lost to himself needs to be saved from himself.

Answer 2

No, where is superman when he is needed??? How can man save himself when he has so much wants, and while trying to fulfill these, he is destroying those around him faster. Just live and try to make the best out of it, so that you have little regrets in your future.

Answer 3

Why should he? He seems quite happy destroying. This is what nature prescribes.

I believe in cyclicity of all in this universe. Humanity has come to be, so it ought to perish too one day......... as certain as the death of an individual.

If a superman comes to be, he too would perish some day. Who would save whom?

Answer 4

Yes, by trusting in God's Mercy, by living and obeying the ten Commandments God gave us. By being an example, kindness and respecting parents and Elders, attending Church of ones faith regular. Caring about oneself and others, abstaining from
Alcohol, Cigarettes, all that can kill ones health. Pray for all mankind and for justice and peace.

Answer 5

There is no way a living being could be destroyed... what takes place is a mere transformation from one thing to another, from one being to another and these are stages through which we are passing and carrying out our journey towards God...

Answer 6

I will tell you the secret but don't tell anybody. You are superman, once you start acting like one.

Answer 7

I think a man has to want to save himself if he ever wants to be saved. Saving yourself comes with the willingness to want to change the way he was living before he decided to make a change. The man must decide what, how he wants to change for the better, and how he plans to make the change become a reality.
Change is a huge part of a man wanting to save himself. I believe people can change but in order for them to change there must be a few things in place in order for them to do so. The person must want to change, the person must be committed to the change they're making, and not be afraid of what the change will bring.
When you want to change, you're increasing your self-power. You are in charge of your life because it's up to you what you want other people to see. When you think you've created the person you want to be, you'll see how others will see you because they'll give you comments on your character but if they don't then there's more you need to work on.
When you're committed to change, you'll want to work on yourself and become excited to work on you. You'll begin to understand yourself, what you want from yourself, and no matter how long it takes, you'll pursue it.
Changes can bring out the best in you but the worst in those around you. Some people will think you're being selfish but you need to be more involved in yourself to save yourself. If those around you can't see that you're doing what's best for you, then they're not meant to be around you.
I changed a few things about my character three years ago and am continuing to change for the better of myself.
It's hard to change even when you want to because there are so many temptations around you just waiting to test you but it's up to you to have the will power to say what you need and what you don't need no matter what the consequences. With those consequences comes results because in the end, you'll end up with what's better for you.
-----------------------------------------------------
In summary, ask yourself who you are. I believe only you can answer this question. We are what we have created, and if what we have created is not bringing us pleasure or happiness, it is up to us to change, and keep changing until you're happy with the person you have to become. This is called 'evolving'. The goal of life is to evolve, to keep moving forward and never be satisfied, for that will stop the progress. Ask yourself each day, "Am I happy with the person I've become?"
Really look at the things that displease you; the good news is that facing those things about you that you don't like is the 1st step toward change. Change requires a shift in thinking. You can't keep things the same old way & expect that life is going to be any different.
When you're ready to work on yourself ask those around you for forgiveness when you're going to be working on yourself. You must be completely honest with yourself about forgiveness because you cannot pretend to have done so.
So I believe people can change and that man can save himself.
