두려움 극복하기: 우리 안의 가장 큰 적 이해하기

### 스스로 만든 장벽 극복하기: 니체에서 영감을 얻은 대화
* 👤 니체는 우리가 우리 자신의 최악의 적이라고 주장했는데, 이는 **우리의 두려움이 종종 우리를 방해**한다는 생각을 탐구하는 대화에서 울려 퍼지는 감정입니다.
* 😨 두려움은 우리가 직면하는 가장 큰 장애물이며, 이는 우리의 생각에서 비롯되며, 이는 다시 **우리의 욕망에서 비롯**됩니다.
* 💡 욕망은 세상에 대한 이해에 따라 자연스럽게 변화하며, **진정한 이해를 통해 사라집니다.**
* 🌱 학생은 처음에는 **욕망과 생각, 두려움에 사로잡혔지만** 곡예사의 지도를 통해 관점을 바꾸는 데 성공했습니다.
* 🔄 이해의 변화를 통해 **학생의 욕망, 생각, 두려움이 변화**하여 장애를 극복할 수 있었습니다.
* 🛤 "욕망이 사라지면 생각도 사라지고, **생각이 사라지면 두려움도 사라집니다.**"

욕망과 생각에서 비롯된 우리 자신의 두려움이 우리를 최악의 적으로 만든다고 대화를 통해 설명합니다.

In Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Friedrich Nietzsche said, “you yourself will always be the worst enemy you can encounter; you yourself lie in wait for yourself in caves and forests.” In my opinion, Nietzsche shared an important insight with us: we really are our own worst enemies. So I’m gonna explore this idea through a dialogue.

At the end of his show, after everyone else had gone home, in the middle of a circus tent, under a sky lit by the moon and the stars, an accomplished acrobat (A) was approached by a young student (S). The young student, looking distraught, introduced himself to the acrobat before opening up. The following conversation ensued. S: I want to be an acrobat and walk the tightrope, but I’m afraid. I’m afraid about making a living, and I’m afraid about what the people close to me will think. I know they’ll judge me.

They won’t respect me. They’ll make me feel small and foolish for joining the circus, but I feel the wire calling to me. What do I do? 

A: You will always be your own worst enemy. 

S: How? Don’t you see? I wanna be a great acrobat like you, but society doesn’t value artists. How will I make a living? And on top of that, my family and friends will judge me for doing what they don’t consider to be real work. I feel like everyone is holding me back. 

A: No one’s holding you back. What’s holding you back is your own fear. You fear society not valuing you, and you fear the disapproval of your loved ones. Am I right? 

S: I guess you’re right, but what can I do? They’re the ones causing my fears. 

A: They’re not the ones causing your fears. Your fears arise from your thoughts. You think that if you become an acrobat, no one will pay.

And if no one pays you, you fear ending up
on the streets. Is that right? S: Right. A: You think if you become an acrobat, your
family and friends won’t respect you. So you fear being disrespected. Is that correct? S: That’s correct. And I know I shouldn’t feel this way, but
I do. A: There’s no value in judging how you feel. Your feelings are always valid. But let’s keep looking deeper into it. So your fears arise from your thoughts. Do you agree? S: I agree. A: So where do your thoughts arise from? S: I’m not sure. A: They arise from your desires. S: What do you mean? A: Well you’re thinking right now. You just used thought to ask me a question. And what was the source of that thought? It was your desire to get clarification, wasn’t
it? S: Yeah, I guess that’s right.

A: So you agree, thought arises from desire. Let’s look into your desires. You want society to value artists more because you believe that will help you get paid. Is that right? 
S: Right. 
A: And you want everyone to respect you for your career. Is that right? 
S: Right. 
A: OK, now I need you to listen carefully. So your desire leads to thought, and your thought leads to fear. So if your desire goes away, the thought goes away, and if the thought goes away, so does the fear. And when the fear drops away, you get out of your own way. You stop being an enemy to yourself. Do you understand? 
S: I get it now. But how do I drop desire? 
A: See that’s the trap: you can’t drop desire. Wanting to drop desire is itself a desire. Fighting fire with fire only produces more fire. But desires fall away on their own through understanding.

So let’s look at your own understanding
of the world. S: OK. A: So you believe that society doesn’t value
artists, and if society doesn’t value artists, that means you’ll never make any money. Is that right? S: That’s right. A: Well let’s examine that. If you sell water in a desert, does it matter
what people think of you? S: I guess not. A: So why does it matter if society values
artists or not? People value anything they perceive as an
absolute necessity. If something is a necessity for you, you better
believe it will be a necessity for someone else too. And if the things you create are a necessity
to someone, they will pay you for it. S: That makes sense. A: Now, you also believe that if you have
everyone’s respect, you’ll be happy. Is that right? S: Right. A: People respect you when you live according
to their values.

But if you live according to someone else’s
values, you’ll never respect yourself. You’ll become resentful, and you’ll regret
not living out your dreams. But if you live according to your own values,
not everyone is going to respect you. The truth is it’s impossible to have everyone’s
respect while also respecting yourself. But if you live according to your own values,
you at least have the chance of attracting people into your life who respect you for
who you are. S: You’re completely right. Thank you for talking me through this. I feel different. A: Are you still afraid? S: I have no reason to be. If I create something of absolute necessity,
people will pay me no matter what my career is. And you’re right, if I don’t do this,
I will become resentful, and I’ll always wonder “what-if”. I’d rather follow my own values and attract
the right people into my life rather than

trying to earn the respect of people I don’t
agree with. A: Now that your fears are gone, what’s
stopping you from acting? S: Nothing. --- Nietzsche said that we are our worst own enemies,
and I explored the meaning behind this idea through a dialogue. More often than not, what stands in our way
is our own fear. Our fear arises from our thoughts, our thoughts
arise from our desires, our desires rise and fall based on our understanding of the world,
and our understanding changes through contact with reality. The student approached the acrobat with a
certain understanding of the world. This understanding gave way to his desires,
which gave way to his thoughts, which gave way to his fears. But once the acrobat showed him the reality
of things, the student's understanding changed. And the change in his understanding led to
a change in his desires, which led to a change in his thoughts, which caused his fears to
vanish.

If you understand all of this, you understand
why we are our own worst enemies. But at the end of the day, this is just my
opinion and understanding of Nietzsche’s words, not advice. Feel free to use this information however
you like, and if you have a different take on Nietzsche’s words, I’d love to hear your perspective in the comments.

두려움과 자기 의심 극복하기: 서커스에서의 대화

우리 자신의 최악의 적에 대한 니체의 통찰은 곡예사와 어린 학생의 대화를 통해 살펴볼 수 있습니다.

학생은 곡예사라는 직업에 대한 사회적 판단과 주변 사람들의 비난에 대한 두려움에 마비되어 있습니다.

곡예사는 학생의 발목을 잡는 진짜 적은 다른 사람의 의견이 아니라 자신의 두려움과 자기 의심이라고 강조합니다.

욕망, 생각, 두려움의 관계 이해하기

욕망은 생각으로 이어지고 생각은 두려움으로 이어지며, 이 관계를 이해하면 내면의 어려움을 극복하는 데 도움이 될 수 있습니다.

욕망은 이해를 통해 자연스럽게 사라지기 때문에 억지로 제거하려는 시도는 부질없는 일입니다.

무시를 당하고 저평가되는 것에 대한 개인의 두려움은 예술가로서 사회적 인정을 받고자 하는 욕망에서 비롯됩니다.

예술가의 가치에 대한 사회의 인식이 그들의 생계 능력을 결정하지는 않습니다.

모든 사람의 인정을 받지 못하더라도 자신의 가치관에 따라 사는 것은 자존감을 위해 필수적입니다.

다른 사람들에게 꼭 필요한 무언가를 창조하는 것은 재정적 성공과 개인적인 성취감의 열쇠이며, 올바른 사람들을 자신의 삶으로 끌어들일 수 있습니다.

내부 장애물 극복하기: 니체적 관점: 니체적 관점

우리 자신의 두려움은 종종 우리의 생각과 욕망에서 비롯된 행동의 발목을 잡습니다.

세상에 대한 이해의 변화는 두려움의 변화로 이어져 궁극적으로 두려움을 극복할 수 있습니다.

이 대화는 우리의 내적 과정이 우리의 장애물을 형성하기 때문에 우리가 어떻게 우리 자신의 최악의 적인지 탐구합니다.
