>>19743871>To counter that I’d say life is a balance, that one should have fun and enjoy life while also preparing for the future and doing something worthwhile to be remembered for, which ancient heroes were obsessed with.many people want unambiguous harsh rules and strict commandments. all that 'balance' business doesnt cut it for the broad masses, they want either good or bad, black or white no in between, they want god be absolute and unrelenting.

'The mentality of the broad masses is accessible only to what is strong and uncompromising. Like woman whose inner sensibilities are not under the sway of abstract reasoning, but are always subject to the influence of a vague emotional longing for the strength that completes her being, and who would rather bow to the strong man than dominate the weakling—in like manner the masses of the people prefer the ruler to the suppliant, and are well-led witha stronger sense of mental security by a teaching that brooks no rival, than by one which offers them a liberal freedom.
They have very little idea of how to use that freedom, and thus they are prone to feel that they have been abandoned. They feel very little shame at being terrorised intellectually and they are scarcely conscious of the fact that their freedom as human beings is impudently abused, nor have they the slightest suspicion of the intrinsic fallacy of the whole doctrine. They see only the ruthless force and brutality of its determined utterances, to which they always submit.'
