It's something of the spirit of our time that when someone encounters an essay or a book that offers a philosophical system, advice or framework, a lens for critique tends to be the question: Who does this apply to? Does this apply well to everyone?

And if it doesn't apply well to everyone, then that becomes a line of attack.

But based on my reading along the way about Friedrich Nietzsche and a few days of reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra, my one big observation is: This book is only about the people it's about.

In fact, if Nietzsche had one big perspective shift he wanted us all to make it might have been that not all of us are the same. Some people are set apart. 

Which is not a notion people today are all that comfortable with, but there it is.
