Chapter 13 Chapter 01 "Good and Evil", "Good and Bad" (13)

Closer to home, there needs to be a solution to the question of another origin of the idea of ​​a "good man," that is, the kind of good man imagined by the haters.It is not surprising that the lamb resents the beast, but the beast cannot be blamed for preying on the lamb.If the lambs murmured among themselves: "These beasts are so evil, are not lambs so different from the beasts that they are even the opposite?" Casting a mocking glance, they might say to themselves, "We don't hate these good lambs, in fact we love them, and nothing tastes better than tender lambs." To be a strong man, asking him not to express his desire to conquer, conquer, and rule, to ask him not to make enemies, not to seek confrontation, and not to aspire to triumph is as absurd as asking the weak to act as the strong.A certain amount of power is equivalent to the same amount of desire, will, and deeds. More precisely, power is nothing else. It is this desire, will, and deed that can only be confused by language (the expression of things in rational language is dead, is a complete fallacy), this force will appear as something else, because language understands and misinterprets all acts as being subject to an acting "subject".Just as ordinary people separate lightning from its light, and regard the latter as a subject's actions and deeds and call it lightning, ordinary people's morality also separates force from its manifestations, as if there is still power behind the strong. There is a neutral base, and the performance of strength has nothing to do with this neutral base.But in fact there is no such basis; there is no "being" behind the act, the action, the process;Ordinary people let the lightning shine, which is actually equivalent to doubling the action, making it an action-action: that is, calling the same thing a cause at one time and an effect at another time.Natural scientists are not so strong as ordinary people. They say, "Force is in motion, and force is the cause." All our science, although extremely calm and free from emotional interference, is still confused by language and always Failed to get rid of those imposed replacement shells, the so-called "subjects".

The atom, for example, is such a substitute shell, and so is Kant's "thing-in-itself": not surprisingly, those repressed emotions of vengeance and hatred that glow in the dark exploit such a belief that even The belief that the strong are free to choose to be weak and the beasts to be lambs has been embraced with unprecedented fervor.In doing so, they have earned for themselves the right to classify as beasts what becomes of beasts...Meanwhile, the oppressed, the downtrodden, the vanquished, steal from the vengeful cunning of the impotent Whisper: "We must be different from those wicked people, let us be good people! All those who do not occupy, do not hurt anyone, do not attack, do not ask for retribution, all those who surrender the right of revenge to God, all those who are like us People who hide themselves in this way, avoid all evil, and even seldom ask for life. Those who are patient, humble, and just like us are good people." If you listen calmly and without prejudice, the true meaning of this passage is actually It's just: "We weaklings are indeed weak; but as long as we don't do things we are not capable of doing, that's fine." But this lowest level of intelligence that even insects have , so as not to act "too much"), this cold reality is wrapped in the moral cloak of retreat, calm, and waiting through incompetent falsification and self-deception, as if the weakness of the weak is his essence, his actions, His total, unique, necessary, irreplaceable real existence is a spontaneous act, a voluntary choice, an action, a merit.Such people believe that a neutral, arbitrarily chosen "subject" necessarily arises from a self-preserving, self-affirming instinct that tends to sanctify all nonsense.The above-mentioned subject, or, to put it more popularly, the soul, is perhaps by far the best faith on earth, for it enables the vast majority of mortals, and the weak and oppressed of all sorts, to sublime Self-deception enables them to interpret weakness as freedom, and this or that manifestation of weakness as merit.
