In his "Thus Spake Zarathustra," and some 130 years ago, Nietzsche wrote:
"Ay! There comes a time in which man and not give birth to any star. Ay! The time comes most despicable man, the longer able to despise himself. Look! I will show you the last man. "What is love? What is creation? What is craving? What is a star? "- And asks the last man, and blinks.
The earth has become small then, and she jumps the last man, who makes everything small. His lineage is indestructible, as the aphid, the last man is the longest lives.
"We have discovered happiness" - say the last men, and blink.
have left the regions where it was hard to live : because people need heat. People even love your neighbor and rubs against him, as it needs heat.
considéranlo Sick and sinful mistrust, people walk with care. A fool is one who continues to encounter rocks or men! A little poison now and then: it produces pleasant dreams. And much poison at the end to have a nice death.
People still working, because work is entertainment. More ensures that entertainment is not tired. People no longer is neither poor nor rich: both are too burdensome. Who wants to rule? Who still obey? Both are too burdensome.
No shepherd and one herd! (1) . Everyone wants the same thing, everyone is equal: he who has feelings different up voluntarily to the madhouse.
"At one time everyone was raving" - say the subtlest, and flash. Today people are intelligent and knows everything that has happened, and make fun never ends. People keep arguing, but soon reconciled - otherwise it ruins the stomach. People have their little pleasures for the day and their little pleasures for the night, but honors health. "We have discovered happiness" - say the last men, and blink. "
(1) Paraphrase, changing its meaning from the Gospel of John 10:16 "There shall be one flock and one shepherd"
