19 - On the Preachers of Death

Thus Spoke Zarathustra - A Reader's Guide

Based on the translation by Graham Parkes - In this episode, Zarathustra describes another type of human who can't harness the power of the "wild dogs" in their soul for the purposes of development and growth, and instead hates life. These haters are either depressed and lack the energy to push themselves beyond mere suffering, or ignore suffering and the development of their souls by focusing on the many distractions offered by life.
