Welcome back to Julie's first 2009 instalment of late-night calming icon sprees, and also to one of the fastest little icon batches ever! Mostly made as a supplement to the other icons available here. She is so unusual-lookin'.

Ironically, much of Nietzsche’s praise of Christ is strangely similar to his derisive descriptions of Socrates. “He [Christ] does not resist, he does not defend his rights, he takes no steps to avert the worst that can happen to him—more ,he provokes it.” (TA, 160). In Twilight of the Idols, Nietzsche makes no secret of his opinion that Socrates essentially forced Athens’ hand in executing him. Why then, do we have the disconnect? Why is Socrates vilified as bringing about the end of the life-affirming Dionysiac and Christ said to be the only true Christian that ever lived? Certainly, their legacies seem similar; Nietzsche says that Christianity is Platonism “for the people” (TI, 11), and they both seem preoccupied with living entirely for an idealized, unknown realm beyond.

It is worth noting that when referring to Christ, at no point does Nietzsche turn “him” into a proper noun. This is, perhaps, the most telling way in which Nietzsche could advocate his method of living to the reader, even before he goes on to discuss Christ’s antithesis. This so-called messiah is the complete self-spiritualization of a definitively mortal man, to whom all situational facts are but outside symbols. To him (or at least, in Nietzsche’s interpretation of him) the most real empire of all is the one he has created within himself, by living truly, according to his heart. Sartre would have called this ‘ultimate’ form of living an unplagiarized existence. The problem, of course, is that countless millions plagiarized Christ’s pattern after he died, and continue to do so. Hence their sickliness; hence their life against life.
