Book: Nietzsche. Page 3

The place occupied by a person on the hierarchical ladder is determined by the suffering that he can endure.

Be firm to be able to endure the terrible sight of life that destroys every compassionate person.

Morality requires truth, harmony with nature, the fullness of life, the body of which includes selfishness, evil, suffering, pain as a necessary element.

Evil is not the antithesis of good: they are mutually reversible, internally interrelated, differently represented from different positions. It's not even that without evil there is no good, but that good in one place is regarded as evil in another.

Evil drives are purposeful, generic and necessary no less than good ones - only their functions are different.

Traditional morality sharply differentiated and opposed good and evil, in a categorical form demanded to follow the first and avoid the second. Good is moral, evil is immoral. Virtues are good, vices are bad. Why this is the case is non-negotiable.

Three basic ideas of Nietzsche's immorality: the presence of negative moral value, the inseparability of good and evil, the production of morality from the will to life.

For nothing does a person pay so dearly as for his virtues.

Conscience is the highest morality of a person who professes the body of values that has been accepted.

It is necessary not to change life, not to rebuild it, but to take it as it is, to accept it from beginning to end.

What is freedom? That you have the will to take responsibility.

The highest ideals of mankind become dangerous, turning into dogmas. As if anticipating the evolution of humanism into inhumanity (I mean communist practice), Nietzsche accused the teachers of mankind of expansionism - the appropriation of the unconditional right to truth.

You can rant about altruism as much as you like, without selfishness, life goes to its end.

Compassion, which has not become a penetration into someone else's suffering, is simply a doubling of suffering.
