“
Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke ZarathustraBut wherever I found the living, there too I heard the language of obedience. All that lives, obeys.
And this is the second point: he who cannot obey himself is commanded. Such is the nature of the living.
But this is the third thing I heard: that commanding is more difficult than obeying. And not only because the commander bears the burden of all who obey, and because this burden may easily crush him: -
All commanding seemed to me to be an experiment and a risk: and whenever it commands, the living risks itself.
Yes, even when it commands itself, it must still pay for its commanding. It must become the judge and avenger and victim of its own law.
