Some are born to obey. Some are cursed to see. — Friedrich Nietzsche

Some are born to obey. Some are cursed to see.

Author: Friedrich Nietzsche

Insight: Most people find comfort in not questioning everything—and that's fine for them. But if you're stuck noticing what others miss, you've got both a superpower and a burden nobody asked for. The curse isn't seeing truth; it's knowing most won't want to hear it.
