Actually, funny story. Which kind of ties in with Burning Bush and you as well Mr. Flippy the Panda...

Nietzsche himself, perhaps one of the most brilliant minds of all time, and quite possibly the greatest philosopher ever, eventually went insane and catatonic. So yes, great minds are also the crazy ones.

But anywho...Mr. Pandy-pand-A, the philosophy does work. It's very scary. I mean, whether you are with or against Nietzsche, one can't discredit his title as one of the greatest philosophers, as well as some other big wigs who all had a hand in absurdism, irrationalist metaphysician, existentialism...and yes, to an extent, the all too trite and OI-OI-OI nihilism. The point being, it became quite a scary thought to recognize that "Life is life." A rotten life is as just, valid, honorable, and as meaningful as a righteous life. And that is what drove a lot of those thinkers into their so called "morbid states." Camus himself, a great existentialist, wrote in The Myth of Sysphus the absurdity of life and justified suicide (a great read by the way, I strongly recommend it), and it's probably what actually drove him to commit suicide. And why shouldn't he have? Was his life any less of a life?
