In fact, the third chapter I read, "The Dance Song," filled me with anxiety. Zarathustra is out with his boys and then he comes upon a group of young girls having a good time. When they see Zarathustra, though, they stop dead. My man is a buzzkill.

So he tells them to keep dancing. That he loves dancing. And I'm just reading like: "OK but did they start dancing again?" Because we all know that sometimes when someone says: "No, you go ahead! Have fun!" It becomes impossible to have fun.

It's like when you meet up with someone and you order a drink and they say: "Oh I'm not going to have one. But you go ahead." I know people think they are being nice when they say this, but it's not nice. Drinking alone is way, way worse than both people just getting soda! It's the worst. Don't do this unless you actually don't like the person that you are meeting up with. Tell them before they order! It's not hard!
