#34: “Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster” by Friedrich Nietzsche
Fighting external monsters, or battling internal ones?
Nietzsche reminds us about not becoming monsters ourselves, when we are fighting monsters.
A warning about the dangers of adopting the veryqualities we oppose. A reminder, that the more we engage with darkness or negativity, the more we may start to mirror it. In this episode, hosts Magnus Zaar and Nidhi Garg reflect on this idea, and the cost of staying too long in the fight.
As Nietzsche put it:
"And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."
