>a mask of himself to wander around, in his place, through the hearts and heads of his friends. And even if this is not what he wants, he will eventually realize that a mask of him has been there all the same, – and that this is for the best.
That makes it seem like it was a long winded way of saying: It might be best if you dont show the normies your power level, and it may be considered a power of yourself, to at times distance yourself from yourself (?), to not be so affected by shame, but to be able to easily cover it, muddle it, dissipate it, remove it from memory?
>Many people are excellent at obscuring and abusing their own memory, so they can take revenge on at least this one accessory: – shame is highly resourceful.
Shame can be strong, thus many people distort their memory to avoid shame
>Malicious cunning is not the only thing behind a mask
It is not only our evils we might be ashamed of
>I could imagine that a man with something precious and vulnerable to hide would roll through life, rough and round like an old, green, heavy-hooped wine cask; the subtlety of his shame will want it this way
A man might be ashamed of his softer sides,
>A man with something profound in his shame encounters even his fate and delicate decisions along paths that few people have ever found, paths whose existence must be concealed from his closest and most trusted friends
Things that may cause relation to the concept of 'shame', can yield fruits of being, ways of seeing and relating to the world, that because others might not so subtly relate these things, potentially miss out on some deep realizations
>His mortal danger is hidden from their eyes, and so is his regained sense of confidence in life. Somebody hidden in this way – who instinctively needs speech in order to be silent and concealed, and is tireless in evading communication
His mortal danger, he is softer more philosophical, more aware of potential subtitles of shame, than leads on? in short, the goods and bads, highs and lows, of his deep relationships, and potential shames related to these highs and lows and deep thoughts about self and the world, offers him lows, danger, and highs, regained sense of confidence.
needs speech to be silent and concealed, as in reading writing thinking, nietzhe needs his writing philosophy to be silent and concealed, but he is so full and deep, he evades communication with plebs, would rather friends not know how vast he is.
even if he does not want this, his friends must have constructed their view of him, without fully knowing the depth of his inner experience, and he concludes, this is the best, that they do not know the highs and lows, of his inner life, the shameful thoughts, of evil and of softness
