The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once wrote that humans would rather will nothingness than not will anything at all. The leaden despair of lifelessness, impotence, and hopelessness is vastly less appealing than intensity – even if that intensity is found in violence, death, and destruction.
哲学家尼采曾经写道，人宁可追求虚无，也不可一无所求。对生活的沉重的绝望、能力缺失和失去希望，这些东西的吸引力远远比不上热衷（intensity）——哪怕这种热衷是由暴力、死亡和破坏提供的。
