HAPPY AND FORGETFUL HERDS. Says Nietzsche, freely translated: Consider the heard gazing in front of you. These animals know nothing of yesterday or today, but leap about, eat, rest, digest, and leap again, and so from morning to night and from day to day, their likes and dislikes closely tied to the peg of the moment, they are neither melancholy not bored. It upsets a man to see this, for while his humanity makes him proud, the animal’s contentment makes his jealous.

One day the man may ask the beast, “Why do you not talk to me or your happiness, but only gaze in silence?” The beast wants to answer and say, “That’s because I so quickly forget what I wanted to say!” But this it also forgets. It does not speak, and the man is left wonder. ~ Page 273
