In the text, Jung reflects on Nietzsche's inability to recognize his own ordinariness, suggesting that true wisdom would lead him to engage with the common people. He posits that if Nietzsche were genuinely a sage, he would immerse himself in the everyday experiences of the average person and understand the value of being part of the collective rather than seeing himself as separate or greater. This perspective invites humility and a connection to the broader human experience.

Jung emphasizes that Nietzsche's greatness does not define his true self. By stepping outside of his elevated stature and embracing the simplicity of life among ordinary individuals, Nietzsche would learn more about his identity and humanity. This insight underlines the importance of recognizing one's place within society and the shared experiences that bind us all, rather than clinging solely to individual greatness.
