spiritual lower class, middle class and upper class

The Curse of Narcissism, Part VIII | Clarissa's Blog





I must confess that I am actually using the terms spiritual lower class, middle class and upper class in a nuanced way, which already implies a great deal about psychological health.  You have to be a bit psychologically unhealthy -- unsure of how to map the world on your own -- to be so easily pulled into someone else's game.  At least I think so.  But perhaps I am expecting too much of people, as usual.  I really think that spirit or spiritedness or Geist has a somewhat different meaning from simple, measurable intelligence, at least in Nietzsche's writing, so I get my views from this.
