Being more than yourself

Hi,
another post to discuss about how the hell is the best way to live our lives and get more from them...hehe, please remenber i'm not trying to sell "ways of life" based on nothing, the interest of the post (and the blog) is only to present you in a simple way where western philosophy is nowadays, and give my interpretation and sometimes add some things and comments about what i agree or not.
So, getting to the matter. Last post we were talking about "deepness" , a term i like to use to describe how deep you get into "real". What would be the interest of getting deeper inside real, of trying to understand and live it more intensivelly? As Nietzche would say,with more "grand style"?
As the post concludes, this gives you more power over the things around you. When you know better how do cars work, you have more possibilities while driving them; when you know better how girls think, you have more chances to convince them you're the right guy, etc.
This makes me conclude that the more information you get from "real", project in your "base" (your mind), keep stored inside, think and take conclusions about, the more power over things you'll have. As people say, knowledge is power.
In the same way you should get deeper in life to understand more things, you should get deeper in "real" to dominate it more, to be able to control and have "grand style" in all things. It means, be able to be at more places in less time, have the power to do more things. The more of these things you have, the more you'll be able to be "deeper" in "real" during your life.
So the best we can have from our fast life can be achieved when you're able to "be at" more places (english has a problem of having only one verb for sentences like "I am home" and "I am John"...) , do and know more things.
It would be like taking the "pensée élargie" concept and, once again, expanding it to other domains. Not only you should expand your way of thinking outside your selfish self, but you should use the things you have in hand to be able to control better and to see more of "real".
So concluding, the best you can get comes when youre able to have more knowkedge, be at more places and do more things. For me, these 3 things seem preety enought..
Don't you agree?
cheers. Uula
