Friedrich Nietzsche

Over the past week began our discussion on Friedrich Nietzsche. We discussed his genealogy of moral. It was seen that the "good" people were seen as noble or powerful ones. It was seen that these people were beloved by God. Nietzsche disagrees with this is a sense that God loves the weak and the ones unable to protect themselves. In his story with "The Lambs and the Birds of Prey" Nietzsche  does not disagree with the preying on the lambs because that's the circle of life. To ask the birds to not kill would be just as strange as asking the lambs to go kill something. I tend to agree with Nietzsche in the sense that the powerful should look after the weak. The weak are the ones who struggle and are less corrupted by greed and many other sins which earn them a certain love from God that many people of wealth may lose through their actions.
