Coda
Coda: the finale of a ballet in which the dancers parade before the audience.
The values of a human being
betray something of the structure of his soul
and where it finds its conditions of life,
its true need.
It would follow on the whole
that easy communicability of need
—-which in the last analysis means
the experience of merely average and common experiences
must have been the most powerful of all powers
at whose disposal man has been so far.The human beings who are more similar, more ordinary,
have had, and always have, an advantage;
those more select, subtle, strange, and difficult to understand,
easily remain alone, succumb to accidents, being isolated,
and rarely propagate.One must invoke tremendous counter-forces
in order to cross this natural, all too natural progressus in simile,
the continual development of man
toward the similar, ordinary, average, herdlike,
—-common.
Beyond Good and Evil By Friedrich Nietzsche What is Noble #268
