Altruism v Selfishness
Sep 13th, 2010, 4:06pm     Friedrich Neitzsche considered benevolence a tyranny against nature, a slave revolt spurred on by the Church and driven by resentment and jealousy of the weak and ugly against the strong and beautiful. These paragons of humanity have been cowed by morality's weapons of guilt and blame and have unwittingly co-operated in their own oppression, blinded to their true and natural goal- the will to power!

I,am no philosopher and have not read Nietzsche, but he finished up rather badly in the end. In certain respects he was right, because alltruism can make groups of people and Nations weak, but where should we stop to let the weak just perish?
In Nature the weak do perish quickly but in real civilization maybe we do not have to be so cruel, yet sometimes it may be necesssary to be cruel to be kind. A very difficult subject, but maybe to come back to religion; do not unto others that you do not want to have done to you.
