Watching this clip back on college is what solidified my love for philosophy.

Gotcha. Nothing historical about that specific symbol. Never meant as a symbol of fortunate or goodness. Just some Heck dude who thought an angular S was cool

One day I wish we as a collective humanity can reclaim these symbols. Growing up in a Chinese household. I’ve know the manji as symbol associated with the Buddha, not as a symbol of hate and oppression.

I used to call my friends “son” back in college.

I find the word Champ to be wonderfully patronizing.

“What’s got you down, Champ?”

Watermelon. Earthmelon. Firemelon. Airmelon.

Long ago, the four elemelons lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Watermelon attacked. Only the AvatarMelon Lord, master of all four elemelons, could stop them, but when the world needed it most, it vanished.

FTFY

There used to be a guy on the corner who would hold a sign up about Falun Gong and repeat “Happy, happy, happy.”

I think it might be a different translation. Should be Human, all too human: Book 6, Aphorism 303.

I found another translation from R.J. Hollingdale.

We often contradict an opinion for no other reason than that we do not like the tone in which it expressed.

Edit: I found it! It’s Kaufmann’s Portable Nietzsche Page 58 Aphorism 303.

Additional edit: It’s not word for word.

Nietzsche wrote, “We often refuse to accept an idea merely because the way in which it has been expressed is unsympathetic to us.” - Human, All Too Human

Might be a different translation
