"Hypocrisy has its own elegant symmetry"
The video (thanks, Betty) brings up something I remembered from class today. Nietzsche says the greatest human power is the ability to overcome it's own will to life, and it is this power that overcomes all the constructed safety of the society we know, and the security we have in our lives. The will to life is overcome through feelings that "explodes suddenly" such as anger, fear, voluptuousness, revenge, hope, triumph, despair, and cruelty.
Those feelings seem destructive...
but apathy is not an explosive emotion
