Background
Nietzsche was a believer in the abyss as the means of removing those who not only did not co-create but held progress and wisdom back by hanging on to outdated beliefs, even to the extent of figuratively or literally helping the destruction….
A description of the experience
Thus spake Zarathustra – Nietzsche
O my brethren, am I then cruel? But I say: ‘What falleth, that shall one also push!’
Everything of today - it falleth, it decayeth; who would preserve it! But I - I wish also to push it!
Know ye the delight which rolleth stones into precipitous depths? Those men of today, see just how they roll into my depths!
A prelude am I to better players, O my brethren! An example! Do according to mine example!
And him whom ye do not teach to fly, teach I pray you to fall faster!
