Nietzsche and John Stuart Mill

Yes, to the previous article! Nietzsche counsels us rightly.
 I follow John Stuart Mill's -hero of the right and left- admonitions to learn from those with whom I disagree. That not only challenges and strengthens my views or-alters them, and therewith, I can remain calm! That's a good expectation!
I recommend following Albert Ellis' " The Myth of Self- Esteem," where he admonishes us not to practice " mustabartory" ideas: we should not make I must do this into an undermining of our efforts. We need patience. We need to realize that there might  be other ways of obtaining our goals. We need to strive but realize that defeat can arrive and thus, be prepared to continue our efforts but perhaps in a different way.
 I recommend Robert Price's" The Reason-Driven Life, " the antidote to that other driven book, where he also gives practical and necessary advice from a rationalist's view.
 I find that Stoicism offers us sage advice in being patient. I also follow Epicurean hedonism to seek the better long-range manners of how to live, with short-range matters not overriding them. Our idea of pleasure , which Mill also endorses, is that seeking knowledge is a means to finding pleasure, and thus, we thereby overcome our opponents who ascribe to us ,in effect the views of Aristippus, that short-range hedonist of eat ,drink and be merry without worrying about the long-range consequences.
 My covenant for humanity- the presumption of humanism, includes what ever I  can glean from any ethical viewpoint.
