Find yourselves.

I'd like to think, that for all his affirmations towards living and more abundant life, what Zarathustra really was waiting for was a man who could kill him, figuratively or literally. But all the intellectuals who visited him, who sought his advice, were 'hopeless': they were simply turning themselves into followers. Zarathustra didn't need followers. He was waiting for creators and destroyers like himself—Übermensch who could destroy him in order to create themselves. Didn't Zarathustra proclaim that God is dead, and wasn't Nietzsche against Christianity and its teachings? That may be so; but if in turn we idolise Zarathustra (or Nietzsche) and his teachings then we have failed and have learnt nothing at all.

Verily, I counsel you: go away from me and guard yourselves against Zarathustra! And better still: be ashamed of him! Perhaps he has deceived you.
The man of understanding must be able not only to love his enemies, but also to hate his friends.
One repays a teacher poorly if one always remains only a student. And why would you not pluck at my wreath?
You revere me; but what if your reverence should some day collapse? Be careful lest a statue fall and kill you!
You say you believe in Zarathustra? But what does Zarathustra matter? You are my believers: but what do any believers matter?
You had not yet sought yourselves: then you found me. Thus do all believers: that is why all belief is worth so little.
Now I bid you lose me and find yourselves; and only when you have all denied me will I return to you.

     —Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
