what if I told you everything you've been taught about morality is a lie that kindness fairness and honesty everything you were told makes you strong precisely what makes you weak you've seen it throughout history ruthless men rise kind men fall the cunning win the naive lose but why is evil simply stronger than good or is there something we refuse to accept about the nature of power to understand why evil wins we must turn to Friedrich n one of history's most radical and misunderstood thinkers most of us are raised with the comforting belief that good always
triumphs over evil that justice prevails that if you're honest kind and fair success will follow it's a beautiful idea but here's the problem it's a fairy tale n saw through this lie he called it slave morality slave morality teaches you to be humble obedient and self-sacrificing why because it was created by the weak to control the strong think about it who benefits When the powerful feel guilty for using their power who gains when the strong are taught to hold themselves back look at history the Romans driven by strength and dominance built an Empire that shaped
civilization but Christianity emerged with with a radical new idea that the meek shall inherit the earth that suffering is virtuous and that power is sinful and what happened the Roman Empire fell and Christianity conquered hearts and Minds nii saw this as a masterful trick for the powerless to make the robust feel ashamed of their nature he wrote everywhere the weaker on the Move seeking to undermine the strong with their morality to pull them down to their level now here's the part that makes people uncomfortable n didn't believe in Good vs Evil he believed in Power
vs weakness in nature does the lion feel guilty for killing the gazelle does the wolf apologize for being strong no because nature doesn't reward kindness it rewards dominance the same is true in human society the ones who rise are those who Embrace power not the those who deny it throughout history the most substantial figures the ones who shaped the world did not follow the rules of morality they played by the rules of power nche called these individuals the ubermen or Overman those who rise above conventional morality and create their values and what about the others
the ones who cling to traditional morality believing that fairness and virtue alone will protect them n had a name for them too the last men the last men are the people who choose Comfort over greatness who fear to struggle reject ambition and settle for mediocrity they tell themselves they are good but are simply afraid n described them as follows what is love what is creation what is longing what is a star thus asks the last man and blinks they are the people who would rather be comfortable than powerful trade freedom for security shrink from struggle
and call it virtue this is why good people lose they don't understand the true nature of power they believe playing Fair will protect them but Power belongs to those who sees it in the corporate world is it the kindest person who becomes CEO or the one who knows how to navigate power in politics is it the most honest leader who wins or the one who knows how to manipulate public perception but here's where it gets even worse not only do good people lose but they also serve the ones who exploit them how because they allow
themselves to be ruled the meek don't inherit the earth they work for those who do but the truth is even darker than you think it's not just that the robust rise it's that the weak willingly submit people don't just tolerate Injustice they crave gave authority they surrender to it they make excuses for the people who exploit them because it's easier than confronting the brutal reality they don't want freedom they want safety this is why history repeats itself why do people bow to corrupt leaders follow blind ideologies and let others dictate the game's rules they claim
to be moral but fear taking responsibility for their power nii believed that most people deceive themselves about morality they claim to follow virtue but in reality they fear the responsibility of power because power is terrifying it demands risk confrontation and taking control of one's life instead of waiting for fairness to save one this is why so many people reject nich's ideas accepting them means accepting that there is no Divine Justice no moral safety net and no guarantee that goodness will be rewarded and that is a terrifying realization but n didn't write for the weak he
wrote for those willing to hear the truth he said one must still have chaos in oneself to give birth to a dancing star in other words true greatness comes not from avoiding struggle but from embracing it and here's where nich's philosophy becomes truly dangerous if morality is just a construct and fairness is a myth what stops the ruthless from taking everything if the world belongs to the strong then where does that leave the rest are we doomed to be ruled by those without conscience this moral dilemma weakens most people the fear that power is corrupt
but n had a response to this fear power alone is not the enemy it is how you wield it that defines you the Overman doesn't seek power for Destruction he seeks it for creation he builds innovates and dominates not for cruelty but because to deny power is to deny life itself so what's the solution does this mean you should abandon morality entirely and become ruthless not necessarily nature wasn't saying to be evil he was saying to stop being naive to recognize that morality is not a shield that power is not evil it's a tool stop
believing that goodness alone will protect you strength and strategy matter learn to navigate power the world is not fair understand the rules of influence create your values stop letting Society dictate what's right for you Nature's message isn't that you must be cruel it's that you must be strong that you must rise above false morality and claim your power he challenged us behold I teach you the Overman man is something that should be overcome the question is are you willing to claim your strength or will you let the world rule you now you have a choice
you can continue believing the comforting lie that goodness alone is enough or you can embrace the hard truth that power shapes the world n's philosophy forces us to confront the fact that we are not entitled to fairness morality is often a tool of control and power is available only to those willing to to take it and that most people will never dare to claim it so I'll ask you again are you ready to wake up or will you remain asleep
