"This is the manner of noble souls: they do not want to have anything for nothing; least of all, life. Whoever is of the mob wants to live for nothing; we others, however, to whom life gave itself, we always think about what we might best give in return... One should not wish to enjoy where one does not give joy."
~ Friedrich Nietzsche, 19th century German philosopher from Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None
I absolutely love that.
Imagine a life in which we seek to GIVE joy.
A life in which we enter relationships to GIVE joy.
A life in which we work to GIVE joy.
GIVE GIVE GIVE GIVE GIVE.
Can you even imagine how much we would ENjoy that?!!?
Stunning…
"It's not enough to have lived. We should be determined to live for something. May I suggest that it be creating joy for others, sharing what we have for the betterment of personkind, bringing hope to the lost and love to the lonely."
Leo Buscaglia, the Dr. of Love
Another Thought on Love from Nietzsche:
"Higher than love of thy neighbor is love of the farthest and the future...My brothers, love of the neighbor I do not recommend to you: I recommend to you love of the farthest."
And, you didn't think Nietzsche was full of love? Quite the contrary.

Ask and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
