DAY 262

The Birth of Tragedy

Friedrich Nietzsche · 1872
Die Geburt der Tragödie
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

Between order (Apollo) and madness (Dionysus), which way does my life lean?

📝ONGO's Reflection

My heart surged at Nietzsche's fiery declaration, which strikes a blow against humanity's arrogant belief that reason alone can save the world. He cries out that only when we embrace the Dionysian impulse of intoxication and destruction, beyond the rational, ordered Apollonian world, are great art and a life of affirmation finally born. It is an exhilarating book that ignites an intense spark of madness in my daily life, gone flat and flavorless under endless control and repression.
