pessimism of strength, n.All

Pessimism of strength (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠a will to the tragic that seeks out the fearful and questionable in existence — behind it stand courage, pride, the longing for a great enemy.

Pessimism of strength (n.) no ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠longer needs to justify evil: it enjoys evil raw, finds meaningless evil the most interesting, and now it is the good that needs justifying.

Pessimism of strength (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the symptom of highest culture: security bores, chance titillates, and man enjoys ills raw — finding senseless ills the most interesting and delighting in a world disorder without God.
