Do you want to have an easy life? Then always stay with the herd and lose yourself in the herd.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Hello, I am Friedrich Nietzsche. You may know me as a philosopher who questioned everything—traditions, morality, and even the limits of human potential. Today, I want to share with you a simple, provocative idea: "Do you want to have an easy life? Then always stay with the herd and lose yourself in the herd." When I said this, it was not a mere observation but a challenge. I wanted people to confront their tendency to conform, to blend in with the crowd, and to avoid the discomfort of individuality. In my time, the "herd mentality" was a metaphor for the way society imposed its values and beliefs on individuals, discouraging independent thought. The herd made life predictable, safe, and easy—but at the cost of authenticity, courage, and self-discovery.
