Nietzsche paints such an inspiring, heroic picture of what a person can be, SHOULD be, that it is not surprising Dwayne should feel such dissappointment and contempt at his family and the world in genereal, especially since he is an angry youth: "You're not my family; I ####ing HATE you people! Are you kidding me?! Divorce?! Suicide?! Bankruptcy?!" ..Why would someone take a vow of silence because of Nietzsche? Answere: The Overman, the Overlife, that just isn't here..until we learn to live for something less..
