Reflection on On the Genealogy of Morality

Nietzsche presents two types of morality: noble and slave. Noble morality dates back to the Ancient Greek and Romans and is based off of qualities such as pride, strength, and power. The slave morality was created by the early Jews and christians and focused on qualities such as humility, weakness, honesty and submissions. In other words, the morality of "no".  The slave morality was created to overturn the noble morality and was fueled from resentment. The slave morality is direct opposition to the noble morality, and values the noble moralities bad qualities as good. Nietzsche explains how the early Jews and Christians created the new morality and the bible to ultimately justify their values and control their people. The slave morality was ultimately used a tool to guilt people into following the values and turn against the Ancient Greek and Romans. Nietzche's argument makes me question the basis of Christianity. Was the religion formed out of love of god or rather love of control?

All I need is a sheet of paper and something to write with, and then I can turn the world upside down.

All great things must first wear terrifying and monstrous masks, in order to inscribe themselves on the hearts of humanity.”

Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings - always darker, emptier and simpler.

At bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time.
