All of us, with our engrained social and cultural values growing up - probably in Islam, Christianity, Judaism, maybe Hinduism - have embraced fully a set of moral values and ideas that envelop "weakness." And this weakness we take pride in.
"Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.
Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.
Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they exclude you and insult you
and reject your name as evil,
because of the Son of Man.
Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets."
We embrace these values of weakness because deep down, we are all envious of power, prestige, endless sex, endless greed, endless money. We all crave it, and we hate that those who have it that are able to attain it, in a way we never will.
From Nietzsche's "On the Genealogy of Morals":
"The reader will have already surmised with what ease the priestly mode of valuation can branch off from the knightly aristocratic mode, and then develop into the very antithesis of the latter: special impetus is given to this opposition, by every occasion when the castes of the priests and warriors confront each other with mutual jealousy and cannot agree over the prize. The knightly-aristocratic "values" are based on a careful cult of the physical, on a flowering, rich, and even effervescing healthiness, that goes considerably beyond what is necessary for maintaining life, on war, adventure, the chase, the dance, the tourney—on everything, in fact, which is contained in strong, free, and joyous action. The priestly-aristocratic mode of valuation is—we have seen—based on other hypotheses: it is bad enough for this class when it is a question of war! Yet the priests are, as is notorious, the worst enemies—why? Because they are the weakest. Their weakness causes their hate to expand into a monstrous and sinister shape, a shape which is most crafty and most poisonous. The really great haters in the history of the world have always been priests, who are also the cleverest haters—in comparison with the cleverness of priestly revenge, every other piece of cleverness is practically negligible. Human history would be too fatuous for anything were it not for the cleverness imported into it by the weak—take at once the most important instance."
It is in our inherent human nature, written on our biology to dominate, to have as much sex and validation as possible, to eat food that makes us feel good, to secure as much as resources as possible. And we will never get this power because of our biology.
So we constantly yell at, scream at the sluts, the STD-filled dog who humps everything in sight, the junkies, the corporate pig, the retarded jock - but they, because of who they are, are inherently "good." They are "good" because they have the adventure, the war, life, the dance, the tourney, from strength, from freedom, whereas we will never be "good." We are inherently "evil" because we are ugly, because we are weak, because we are poor, because we are pathetic. Nothing changes the fact that they get away with everything - nothing changes the fact they will go on to live successful lives. Why? Because they are "good," and we are "bad," and nature herself hates us and wants us dead because of how ugly, bad, and evil we are.
All the pagan religions in Europe and the Middle East, before the onset of Judaism and it's offspring (Christianity and Islam), placed huge value on these naturally "good," "animalistic" values.
Just look at Greek mythology! Sex itself was made a goddess (Aphrodite). Partying, orgies, drunkenness was made a god (Pan). War itself was made a god (Mars). Uncontrolled Lust was made a god (Cupid). The leader of the gods wielded the power of lightning and constantly cheated on his wife, even turning into animals to fuck women (Zeus). The god of wisdom tried raping a young, presumably teenage girl (The rape of Daphne).
These were all worshipped! And similar gods and similar stories are all around the Near East and Europe in their respective pagan religions.
To quote Nietzsche:
"All the world's efforts against the "aristocrats," the "mighty," the "masters," the "holders of power," are negligible by comparison with what has been accomplished against those classes by the Jews—the Jews, that priestly nation which eventually realised that the one method of effecting satisfaction on its enemies and tyrants was by means of a radical transvaluation of values, which was at the same time an act of the cleverest revenge. Yet the method was only appropriate to a nation of priests, to a nation of the most jealously nursed priestly revengefulness. It was the Jews who, in opposition to the aristocratic equation (good = aristocratic = beautiful = happy = loved by the gods), dared with a terrifying logic to suggest the contrary equation, and indeed to maintain with the teeth of the most profound hatred (the hatred of weakness) this contrary equation, namely, "the wretched are alone the good; the poor, the weak, the lowly, are alone the good; the suffering, the needy, the sick, the loathsome, are the only ones who are pious, the only ones who are blessed, for them alone is salvation—but you, on the other hand, you aristocrats, you men of power, you are to all eternity the evil, the horrible, the covetous, the insatiate, the godless; eternally also shall you be the unblessed, the cursed, the damned!" "
So why are we angry at "good" people? The gods (nature herself) want us dead, and they are the ones that have determined our fates as "ugly," "evil," "disgusting," "repulsive."
There's no point in embracing "Judeo-Christian" values. It is vanity, vanity of the highest order, PRIDE of the highest order, to believe that we can overcome our biological immitations for some "higher good" like "justice, humility, weakness, poverty of spirit, loving our neighbors."
Our biology is written, and no amount of resisting our biology will allow us to overcome our biology.
