Nietzsche wrote that one sign of decadence is an inability to resist a stimulus. Always giving in to temptations, slurping up whatever anyone puts in front of you. It’s a kind of curiosity and insatiability that at first glance might appear vital, but could also indicate serious exhaustion. I’m of the mind that it takes more energy not to do things than to do them, and for many people, it’s not that they’re tired because they’re busy, they’re busy because they’re tired
I love the way you point out its not about the lesson but about realising you are strong enough to do Good...
