Restriction is what our Zeitgeist lacks. Moralizing voices lack. We do not know how to restrict and what to restrict. We even ask ourselves: 'Do we have to restrict, or can we have MORE forever?' Everyone simply enjoys whatever is within grasp... This is the LOW live.
The true difference between ANIMALS AND HUMANS is that humans can restrict themselves. The true difference between animals and humans is that humans can have meaning in their lives. Restriction and meaning are two sides of the same coin.
The word 'dog' has meaning because I restrict the usage of the word 'dog' to dogs only. When I use the word 'dog' for cats, the word loses some of its meaning. When I call everything 'dog', then the word will be meaningless. When we act immedetialy towards everything in reach, our lives will be equally MEANINGLESS and we become equal to animals... And we eat animals because they do not have their own meaning..!
We travel when we can, because we want more experience. We study everything, because we always want more knowledge. We fuck WHENEVER AND WHOEVER we can, because fucking more gives more pleasure. Our time is growing with meaningless travelling, meaningless knowledge and meaningless sex... Our times are hollowing. Lives are losing their meaning everywhere around you. You see BEAUTY (as the expression of meaning) bloating up and losing its form, with ugliness growing on MTV, ugliness on the streets and the growing FORMLESSNESS in the people you know... And we wonder why we miss God so much. Why we desire Christian Politics and envy the passion of Muslims...
SO! Why do you not fight for your human life? Never call an enemy your 'friend', never use 'love' for physical pleasure. Spend time with true friends only, have sex with your true love only!
And it is so dissapointing: those who do not understand beauty, purpose and meaning... It is so good to be human, why waste it because the empty life is easier? Bare your teeth and defend the meaning in your life, meaning is all you got, NO?
People's slaving to desire is INFECTIVE. When you open yourself to the animality, to the life that always absorbs, to the life that moves along with the surroundings; it will suck the meaning right out of you. These temptations are the leeches. We have to be so careful to avoid these craving leeches that set their venomous teeth in your flesh!
God was the source of meaning before, now he is GONE. We lost God because we lost restriction. NOW, capitalism devours the weak first, like spreading black water, drawing people closer to animality, while they eat and fuck without restriction... BUT we can create meaning, just as we created God before: restrict and differentiate, create your own commandments, and things will become meaningfull through this delineation.
One quest, one holy grail, one cliché ideal: "master restriction and become an artist of meaning, create your OWN meaning of life. Inspire others, give meaning to their lives, if you can. Live your personal religion."
The genius of Nietzsche was wrong only HERE: ascetism does not deny the Will, it is the very thing that drives us, as we do things because they have meaning. Meaning makes humanity strong, not weak. Nietzsche lost his own meaning, became crazy, simple and unable to act. The philosopher became a donkey because he tried to create his God-like Zarathustra without affirming the art of denial.
People hurt people with empty words, empty deeds. The statue is created by what is carved away; but nowadays, our streets - and our personalities - are filled with formless LUMPS OF AMASSING UGLY ROCK. Does not the statue have more meaning, more beauty than the formless rock? So, we must carve away the low life. Carve away that animal. Separate earth from heaven. You must create our boundaries, make them clear and strict. Carve, prune, deny yourself! Or BE LOST.
