Beyond Good and Evil
He smelled it before he could see it. A beast so ugly it only vaguely resembled a man. Hairy, disproportionate, caked with dirt and angry. In everything following it's emotions. In everything following it's passion. Never as second thought. The beast was strong physically and yet so weak. In it's eyes, the ape saw fear. A fear so deep it drowns worlds. A deep seated anxiety shaking the roots of being.
-"Confusion", said the biggest ape.
-"That one knows not good'", answered the crow. Wisest among the birds.
-"Take me to the second one", said the biggest ape.
Now before him stood the most beautiful man. He was perfect in every way, perfect in proportions, perfect in intellect, perfect in movement. He was surrounded by beauty. Around him beauty blossomed. Everything was made perfect by his hands, and yet it decays. Around him everything was dying. Oh so slowly, but oh so certainly.
At his feet, blood.
-"That one knows good", said the crow.
-"Take me to the third one", said the biggest ape.
There sat a man, eyes closed with a faint smile on his lips. As hard as he looked, the ape couldn't make up the limits of his body. His body was translucent light, filled with every changing colors. In him he saw the beast, in him he saw the most perfect man. And all the intermediary steps. There he sits for ever, and ever. Eternal.
-"That one knows no good nor evil", said the crow.
-"Yes"
Thus spake Apathustra.
