I will hopefully update this every day (either a new post or updating/revising older posts). Each entry will have a passage from Nietzsche, followed by my interpretation and thoughts on the quote - many times this involves relating it to 21st century America or personal real-life issues. I am in no way an expert (yet), and my idealistic vision for this is that people will read, comment, and challenge the posts. I would also love to eventually have other contributors/co-owners.

On Possessions
"A free life is still free for great souls. Verily, whoever possesses little is possessed that much less: praised be a little poverty!"
-Thus Spoke Zarathustra: First Part, On the New Idol
I graduated with a B.A. in History from Coker College (Hartsville, SC) in May 2007, after which I moved to Madison, WI and took philosophy classes at the University of Wisconsin for two years. I now attend Georgia State University as a M.A. in Philosophy candidate. The number of blogs I have compared to how frequently I update them (or don't) sheds light on one of my defining characteristics: My ambition far exceeds my actual ability.
