Out of the pressure of plentitude, out of the tension of forces that constantly grow within us and don't yet know how to discharge themselves, a state arises like that preceding a storm: nature, which we are, darkens. That too is pessimism...A doctrine which puts an end to such a state by commanding something, a revaluation of values by means of which the accumulated forces are shown a path, a direction, so that they explode in lightning and deeds - certainly doesn't have to be a doctrine of happiness: by releasing force which had been cramped and dammed to the point of agony, it brings happiness.
