Studying Josef Breuer’s book
‘We fell more in love with desire, than desired’
– The day Nietzsche cried
We live in love with an ideal, we live in love with the idea of being happy, of the idea of loving someone and that corresponds to us, to fall asleep with a bigger smile than with which we have woken up, and countless things. But we are so consumed by those ideals that we do not appreciate them when we have them. We prefer the illusion of achieving a goal, than the illusion for the goal we have achieved. We do not value how they deserve the things we have.
In the book we investigate desires that we consciously repress for fear of being judged, which we capture in the unconscious. The search for the cure panacea is the fundamental axis of this in which it develops for fear of interactions between two people, telling what our unconscious guárdos and that we live in fear and agony is the way to overcome these feelings ofguilt and overwhelm, a look at the beginning of psychoanalysis, emphasizing real events, such as Ana or. carried out by Josef Breuer, and the help he regularly lends him, at that time the still young brilliant apprentice Sigmund Freud.
The story begins when the famous Viennese medical, Josef Breuer, goes to an unexpected encounter with the young Lou Salome, beautiful in both beauty and ideas, who claims to go to their help with the intention of helping an unknown friend of his clear suicidal tendencies. She assures him a glorious future, a subject "under whose reflections is the future of German philosophy’, in her own words. While at the beginning it is indisposed, Breuer must comply with the difficult mission of healing his mind without him knowing. Soon Nietzsche goes to his office, so educated and calm that he contrasts. Thus the philosopher with Dr. Breuer begins to be treated. In this way the plot of history develops, where every attempt on the part of the doctor with the intention that Nietzsche reveals something of himself looks strongly frustrated due to his mental acuity, which always seems to place a step later than his.
"Those who love the truth do not fear turbulent or dirty water. What we fear is the shallow water!".
We are more in love with the totality than to love the other as such and accompany us in our gaps or deficiencies. If there is no introspection, dissatisfaction stories are repeated, repetition compulsion is related to the eternal return of Nietzsche. Said in one way or another, the price of that crush of desire, the desire, or as it is also called: the desire, is the dissatisfaction. Breuer to his conclusion, that the important thing is, unlike that yearning, love. Many times I said that the desire prevents love. The maintenance of yearning implies vital dissatisfaction and prevents focusing on the present.
“Lust is also a desire to dominate everyone else. The ‘lover’ is not the one who ‘loves’, but the one who seeks the possession of being loved. You want to exclude the whole world from your precious good. He is as petty as the dragon who guard his golden treasure. Do not love the world. On the contrary, the other living creatures are totally indifferent ”.
Breuer always thought of his carnal impulses, what Bertha caused her, when she saw her, this is how she felt this lust, towards her, and towards how much woman she approached her, since she had sexual fantasies with everything;Lust is not an issue that is sudden
‘“ To be able to have a relationship with another person, one must have a relationship with himself. If we are not able to embrace our own loneliness, we will use the other as a shield against our loneliness. Only when it is possible to live as the eagle, without a public, you can love another person;Only then can one import the other person … "
It is made known as simple consumerists of something that we paint as happiness and we do not pursue.
“The secret to living well consists, in the first place, to desire what is necessary and, then, in loving what is desired."
The doctor. Breuer implies that he reaches an anxiety point that he thinks about leaving his whole life, wife and his children and at the same time think of a life that he imagined totally the opposite, that he came to do the desire. On the other hand Nietzsche makes him known a despair of reality that is alone and seeks the idealization of a perfect love
In conclusion we can realize that it focuses on the search for the meaning of life based on desires. The two characters are lost in their world enclaustrated in their obsessions. The doctor. Breuer has an existential crisis, he feels that he has not lived according to his choice, that everything in his life has been imposed, especially his wife and the desire he thought he had in her . He projects that crisis in the obsession with a patient, thinking that her life with her would make her happier. Nietzsche understand by desire we find that this concept is associated with a particular meaning of the idea of will. Nietzsche desire is hidden, disguised and locked in the metaphorical figures of the dionysian and melodic
