Summary

This quote by Friedrich Nietzsche suggests that hope can be detrimental to humans as it merely extends their suffering. Nietzsche implies that clinging to hope, despite the dire circumstances, can prevent individuals from acknowledging and accepting the reality of their situation. By continuing to hope, people may inadvertently prolong their torment by avoiding or denying necessary transformations or confronting harsh truths. This quote reflects Nietzsche's philosophical perspective on the potentially negative consequences of hope and encourages a more realistic and truthful approach to life.

I have studied him (Muhammad PBUH) - the wonderful man and in my opinion for from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Savior of Humanity.
