making a promise

i think that the way that nietzsche describes the ability to make and keep a promise is very interesting. i have never looked at anything this way before, first you have to think of the promise that you want to make, and then you have to make your self beleive that you are going to keep it, and then finally you have to carry out the action of actually keeping the promise. this si by far the most interesting thing i have read in this book thus far.

I FOUND A WAY!!

I found a way to help me better understand the reading! I read one paragraph, and then i stop and think about it, and write down little side notes, and then i continue on with my reading.

New reading

I enjoy reading this new book, but at times i find some of the things he says a bit redundant, and he seems to be talking in circles rather than getting straight to the point. i think that this would be a much better book, and a whole lot easier to read if he were to write straight to the point.
