Möbius revealed a tendency to mental problems on the maternal side of the Nietzsche family. One uncle committed suicide, apparently preferring death to being shut up in the Irrenhaus, the lunatic asylum.

On the paternal side, a number of Nietzsche’s grandmother’s siblings were described as ‘mentally abnormal’. One committed suicide and two others developed some sort of mental illness, one requiring psychiatric care.
There's also the death of Nietzsche’s baby brother Joseph. He suffered from seizures before dying of a terminal stroke.

One can come to no definite conclusion but there can be no doubt that the Nietzsche family was indeed affected by a strong tendency to mental or neurological instability.

والحزنُ كالذَنْبِ بالإخفاءِ يَنكَشِفُ
‘It was terrible for us to live in the city, after we had been living in the country for so long,’ Nietzsche wrote, talking about his, and his sister's, childhood; ‘we avoided the gloomy streets and looked for the open spaces, like birds trying to escape from a cage … the huge churches and buildings of the market place, with its Rathaus [town hall] and fountain, the throngs of people to which I was unaccustomed … I was astonished by the fact that often these people did not know one another … among the most disturbing things to me were the long paved streets.’

Whatever has value in the present world, has not it in itself, by its nature,—nature is always worthless:—but a value was once given to it, bestowed upon it and it was we who gave and bestowed! We only have created the world which is of any account to man!
Humans always seek simple solutions, while the world is never simple.

This is why humans are stupid
Also, please don't consider yourself an expert in either politics or religion... Cuz you are not, trust me.

The Germany of the 1850s was the Germany of the Bund (1815–66), the confederation of states formed when the map of Europe was redrawn at the Congress of Vienna, following Napoleon’s defeat. The Bund comprised thirty-nine autonomous German states governed by Princes, Dukes, Bishops, Electors and so on. This fragmentation into small, and small-minded, states meant that there was no national army, no common tax structure, no overarching economic policy and no real political authority. Despot jockeyed against despot, too short-sighted to see the advantages of unification. As an additional complication, the Bund also contained Czechs in Bohemia, Danes in Holstein and Italians in the Tyrol. Hanover was governed by the King of England until 1837, Holstein by the King of Denmark and Luxembourg was under the Dutch King. In 1815, when the Deutscher Bund was formed, Austria had been the dominant member of the confederation but as the century progressed and Austrian Chancellor Metternich’s power waned, the large, mineral-rich state of Prussia became increasingly prosperous and bellicose under Chancellor Otto von Bismarck.
