Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

The 'kingdom of Heaven' is a condition of the heart - not something that comes 'upon the earth' or 'after death.'

The 'kingdom of Heaven' is a condition of the heart - not so

Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of the "kingdom of Heaven" should be understood as a state of mind or inner condition rather than a physical place or an afterlife destination. It emphasizes that one's connection to and experience of Heaven is based on the state of their heart and mindset, rather than external circumstances or future events. In essence, it highlights the importance of cultivating a spiritual and compassionate perspective in the present moment rather than solely focusing on future rewards or external manifestations.
