While studies demonstrate the profound happiness to be found in family, he offers the same tired trope: "I'm bored" (says the bore). This is the kind of kid that destroys beehives for entertainment, notwithstanding the sweetness they offer.

It is one of basest and most immature mindsets, to believe that good intentions trump the actual impact of our actions. A woman said she felt "nothing but pure love" when sacrificing her baby to Sat*n. She was on drugs, per Nietzsche's prescription, when commiting this act of "art."

“One must learn to love.— This is what happens to us in music: the first one has to learn to hear a figure and melody at all, to detect and distinguish it, to isolate it and delimit it as a separate life; then it requires some exertion and good will to tolerate it in spite of its strangeness, to be patient with its appearance and expression, and kindhearted about its oddity:—finally there comes a moment when we are used to it when we wait for it when we sense that we should miss it if it were missing: and now it continues to compel and enchant us relentlessly until we have become its humble and enraptured lovers who desire nothing better from the world than it and only it.

“The most spiritual men, as the strongest, find their happiness where others would find their destruction: in the labyrinth, in hardness against themselves and others, in experiments. Their joy is self-conquest: asceticism becomes in them nature, need, and instinct. Difficult tasks are a privilege to them; to play with burdens that crush others, a recreation. Knowledge–a form of asceticism. They are the most venerable kind of man: that does not preclude their being the most cheerful and the kindliest.”

“Meaning and morality of One's life come from within oneself. Healthy, strong individuals seek self-expansion by experimenting and by living dangerously. Life consists of an infinite number of possibilities and the healthy person explores as many of them as possible. Religions that teach pity, self-contempt, humility, self-restraint, and guilt are incorrect. The good life is ever-changing, challenging, devoid of regret, intense, creative, and risky.”
