"The kind of man who, lacking external enemies and obstacles, and imprisoned in the oppressive proximity and conformity of custom, unceasingly flagellated, victimized, chewed away at, attacked, and mistreated himself; the kind of animal that chafed its skin on the bars of its cage ever more as it became domesticated; this poor creature, tormented by a long to return to the wild, had to turn itself into an adventure, a torture chamber, a strange and perilous wilderness - this fool, this yearning and desperate prisoner, invented the “bad conscience”. But here also began the most serious and uncanny kind of sickness, from which humanity has never recovered - man’s suffering of man; man’s suffering of himself as a disease: as if it were a headlong leap into a new environment with new conditions of existence - a declaration of war against the old instincts upon which his strength, joy, and fearful nature had previously rested."

— Nietzsche (via dearscience)
