Nietzsche and the Curse of Awareness: Why Clarity Can Isolate

The truest

words was from Nietzsche when he said that any man who knows too much can't,

he can't fit in anywhere.

And that, that's the curse of awareness.

Once you start to delve underneath the surface, that's when you realize this

whole world is not so simple, and you start to notice

who people really are and the games they're playing and that

fake confidence, all the ulterior motives.

And you realize this whole society

is built on lies,

and people, they're sheep.

And once, once you see that, you can't unsee that.

So you, you try, you try and tell people,

but they say to you, "No, no, you're overreacting.

You're crazy." So you stop talking.

But you're still observing, you're still watching,

but you know you don't belong anymore.

And it's not, it's not because you, you think you're the, you're too good for

anyone. No, no, no. It's because you've seen too much,

and you're watching

everything. And now you know you can't go back to how

it was anymore.

And awareness, it isolates you,

and it's the price of clarity

because the crowds, they move away.

But then at least you know who you are.
