The Original Quote

 

Nietzsche describes the resentful man as: There is a human being who has turned out badly…he is bored,
disgusted, and despises himself; having inherited some money, he is deprived even of the last comfort, “the blessings of work,” self-forgetfulness in “daily labor.” Such a person who is fundamentally ashamed of his existence, who has become poisoned through and through – eventually ends up in a state of habitual revenge, a will to revenge.”

Summary:

Nietzsche’s quote describes a type of resentful man: someone wealthy but unhappy, lacking purpose and self-worth. This individual, burdened by boredom and self-disgust, develops a habitual bitterness and desire for revenge as a response to their miserable existence. The passage explores the psychological consequences of a life devoid of meaning and fulfillment.
