I believe that Nietzsche was incredibly sarcastic. He, not the reader, knew what the uebermensch was, which he wouldn't have brought into the world if he hadn't taken atheism as a "matter of course" (or did he?)...one can feel a bit...undone...by his ideas if you embrace them, can't you? Like can't you just feel the wisdom draining from your mind one sentence at a time and filled with some nameless grand sense of megalomania, even as every virtue and goodness that could elevate you disappears into some abyss? Don't you feel a bit distracted by your own unrealistic desires? Maybe enthralled by things that push you aside from mainstream social life, as if one were simply removed from others' lives altogether? Maybe even a bit "dead"?

Do you really want to find meaning in Nietzsche or do you want to create your own meaning to life? What are you searching for? It's your mind that writes the meaning, not Nietzsche's... unless you believe him like he's some kind of "prophet", "preacher", or even "Antichrist", of course. I believe that Nietzsche said in Ecce Homo that if you were to meet his uebermensch, you would not recognize him or probably think that he was "...a devil!" Really now?

Nietzsche encouraged us to almost blithely create a mythos as "a lie, to give life meaning". He also asked why we seek truth instead of untruth. He also spoke in constant double-entendres in the manner of Heraclitus, so that anyone can interpret him in many different manners, as per their choice.

People think he destroyed metaphysics, but I think he simply concealed it from enough people that I don't need to worry about them questioning the effect of the meaning I give life on people, who seem so wrapped up in their own beliefs not to notice...
