“One loves ultimately one’s desires not the thing desired.” Friedrich Nietzche was a leading German philosopher a pioneer in raising existential thoughts and forcing society at large to question why they need faith religion and a sense of belonging.At the heart of Nietzsche’s argument is the idea that to learn the truth one must question everything they have ever learned or observed. Nothing is free from this self-interrogation including self-perception societal teachings and religion.Nietzsche insists that nothing can be split into black and white―there exist only shades of grey. This argument forms the foundation for his discussion of religion.Through his philosophy Nietzche insists individuals find their own truth will and impose it upon the world to find their authentic way of life.
