Character: Zarathustra. Page 1

To take care of his flock, to increase, to drive them back up to the meadows of rich grass, on the weak and the sick taken care of beasts of prey, - so says the mind.

The meaning of life in its fruitfulness, fertility, ripening in the fruit richness gives way to personal experience, based on fundamental knowledge.

Miracle selective, hence it is not a miracle.

And look at these men: their eyes say they know of nothing on earth, how to lie with a woman.
