No matter how much effort is spent on the weak, it is of no avail.And morality is useless.Even worse are the deadly symptoms of weakness, such as apathy and unresponsiveness.The reason is simply that no quicker, more blind reaction can ever be made on the basis of a reaction which one does not have. … In the anticipation and postponement of response, the forces of nature show themselves.A certain degree of disinterest in something is a characteristic of this force. Like unfreedom with anti-movement, sudden weakness, unstoppable "action"... the will is weak, because, presumably, the cure for doing stupid things is to have a strong will and do nothing, which is paradoxical .

Self-destruction... Weakness kills itself... Impairs the instinct of preservation, that's the decadent type... In fact, we think about a lot of ways to create numbness.In this sense, instinct finds the right clue easily, and doing nothing is more beneficial than doing something. Orders, solitary philosophers, and dervishes, all their tricks are inspired by the correct scale of values.Those who hinder action gain the greatest benefit—the placebo: unconditional obedience, step-by-step action, separation of person from thing; perhaps these things themselves demand immediate decision. Fundamentally, many new ideals are possible!I have a small ideal.This ideal came to me in that sacrilegious azure moment of bliss as I spent five weeks wandering alone in the wild.The ideal spends its life among the beautiful and the absurd, but the reality is alien to it, half artist, half bird and metaphysician, so it loses the ability to distinguish reality, unless one occasionally passes through Graceful dance steps, acknowledging the existence of this reality on the toes.People are often overjoyed at a ray of happiness, and can even find a tinge of relief and encouragement in sorrow—for such a man is the lucky survivor of sorrow, who can regard the end of a farce as a tail on the holiest ass.Its meaning is self-evident, this is a heavy, seemingly heavy spiritual ideal, and it is also a bloated spiritual ideal.

"Good people" can sometimes be called: moral disabilities.Love and hate, gratitude and vengeance, kindness and anger, affirmation and negation are opposites to all strong, natural beings.While doing good, you also know what it is to do evil; people may be evil, because only in this way can people know how to be good.What is the source of the pathological and ideological unnaturalness that denies this duality, which teaches that one-sidedness belongs to something higher?Where does the idea of ​​a morally disabled, kind person come from?The requirement here is to make a clean break with those instincts that can be enemies and hurt people, are irritable, and demand revenge... These non-natures are in line with the dualistic view of human beings who are both pure good and pure evil.A person who is purely good is affirmative to everything in the world; while a person who is purely evil has a negative power, intention and state of everything.Such a person sees this way of valuing as "idealistic"; it does not doubt, of course, that a highest desirability has really been posited in the "good" view.If it had climbed to its summit, it must have racked its brains to conceive a state in which all evil would vanish and only good men would remain in truth.Therefore, it must believe that the opposition between good and evil, mutual restraint is not perfect, on the contrary, the latter should be canceled and the former should be retained. If one has the right to exist, the other must disappear... so what is the reason?

In all ages, but especially in the age of Christianity, great effort has been expended in belittling this half-faced, "good man" aspect of humanity.Now, there are a lot of depressed people who are connected to the church and whose thinking is a perfect fit with the intention of being fully "human," or "God's will," or "soul-saving."Among them, there can be one of the most basic requirements, that is, people must not do evil, and they must not harm others, and they must not even have the intention of harming others.The way is to eradicate all hostile possibilities, eliminate all revenge instincts, and achieve a kind of "soul tranquility" like a chronic disease.

To start from an absurd premise, to domesticate a way of thinking for a certain type, which believes that good and evil themselves embody contradictory realities, which exhorts people to do good, and requires good to absolutely reject evil , against evil.In fact, it negates life, because in instinct life has both positive and negative parts.This is simply because it does not fully understand the concept and instead dreams of returning to the wholeness, unity and power of life.Finally, when the turmoil between its own inner anarchic tendencies and opposing value impulses has come to an end, it conceives for itself a state of salvation.This will to be good has become, by far, an even more dangerous ideology, the greatest disaster of which is psychological science.Because of the type shown by this contradiction, the growth of this restrained man, the duplicity hypocrite, is taught that only being a duplicity hypocrite is the right path to divinity, and also Only in this way can the transformation into divinity be achieved.

But even here, life still occupies an important place.Life, because life really understands the affirmation and negation of its own existence, and they are inseparable, so it tries its best to prove that war is evil, it does not want to harm people, and it does not want to be denied, what is the use of this!Even if there was a war, people would do nothing else.The good man who denies evil, as if he wished it so, has never ceased to fight, to be an enemy, to deny, and to do what is negated, though he is bound by a disability of morality.For example, Christians hate "sin" - but what is it that is not "sin" in their eyes?In fact, it is precisely because of the belief in the opposite morality of good and evil that, in their view, the world has become a chaotic world full of resentment values ​​and endless battles. "Good people" naturally think that they are closely surrounded by evil people, and are constantly being attacked by evil people. A good person needs to sharpen his vision so that he can find evil things in his wild thoughts.Therefore, by regarding nature as something evil, he corrupts man, and regards the existence of goodness as a boon, and in doing so, of course, he also ends himself.In short: he does not affirm life, he recognizes that the good, which has the highest value, must condemn life... Thus, for him, his conception of good and evil becomes something that is denied.However, people did not refute the patient.Because people start to conceive another kind of life...
