"You want, if possible - and there is not a more foolish "if possible" - TO DO AWAY WITH SUFFERING; and we? - it really seems that WE would rather have it increased and made worse than it has ever been!"
Yay, more suffering, sounds awesome. Mad Freddy was mad. His rants on this topic are barely coherent.
"Greatness" at the expense of more personal suffering, no thanks. I don't have the requisite level of self-hatred. That is ironically closer to a form of Stoicism which originally exalted "virtue" - to Nietzsche, more like power and greatness. Not as means to the end of personal happiness which I would go with, but as something to sacrifice personal happiness to. Which is where I would part ways with Nietzsche.
Excellence in so far as it instrumentally aligns with personal happiness though, sure.
