For some reason, Nietzsche’s words came to me today. “Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you.” Does this resonate with anyone else?

Hmmm, interesting. I’m quite aware of Nietzsche, but I try not to get too much into his stuff, because I want to have my own outlook in life, and feel that if I read about him, my views would coalesce with his, and I want my own outlook, no matter how depressing and nihilistic it may be, cuz honesty!
I think that whenever we fight monsters, we are monsters, figuratively speaking. Really, I think we’re all just a bunch of shit stuck in space without any freedom whatsoever, but if you want to be poetic about it…
I do, however, like that one about the abyss. It’s like, if I look at shit, I become shit. I’ve mentioned shit a lot, haven’t I?
By the way, this came to my head:
Still Lost is a monster,
M-m-m-monster,
Still Lost is a monster,
M-m-m-monster
I love those words “when you look into the abyss”, it feels like that blackness is breathing. I don’t think the abyss is anything to fear. To understand it, to explore it is to understand and explore ourselves. I can embrace my monstrosity, not my imperfection but my inhumanity.
I agree about exploring myself and my demons… Its been an intense three years of exploration. I think I’ve really become my inner monster.
I think I am becoming a monster too… Sometimes my own thoughts scare me.
Me too. I think my thoughts would scare most people outside of SP. Interesting how I can fight my monsters with everything I have but in the end (Monday), I became that monster.
