Similarities Between Good And Evil Nietzsche

Morality, in it of itself, involves various interpretations on how we humans act, behave, and think; often times, this branch of philosophy seeks to find “reason” in the various actions we as a collective have performed across the time we have lived. Yet, not many philosophers until recently have tried to find meaning in how these moral theories arose. One philosopher, however, did bring up this issue: Friedrich Nietzsche, a German writer/philosopher with mild sanity issues; specifically, he brings up the rather dubious nature of morality based on various negative aspects of human history we’ve used to justify our actions. He catalogued many of the concepts, ideas, and failings of morality in a collection of essays referred to as On the Genealogy
Frankly, I do agree with Nietzsche about our moral systems and their necessity; I see them as unnecessary relics born of archaic and demeaning analyses of human nature at the times of their inception; I also agree that their purpose, ultimately, is a method to limit humanity from its greater capacities and incapable of being reevaluated based on their origins. One point Nietzsche brought up (primarily in Essay #1 aptly named “Good and Evil”, “Good and Bad”) is the origins on the terms and reasoning we give actions that we consider good, bad, and evil. He starts with an examination into the nomenclature behind how most cultures differentiated good from bad: “I was given a pointer in the right direction by the question as to what the terms for ‘good’, as used in different languages, mean from the etymological point of view: then I found that they all led me back to the same conceptual transformation, – that everywhere, ‘noble’, ‘aristocratic’
evil/bad” starts Nietzsche’s argument, he then follows with another group of concepts in his second essay: “’Guilt’ ‘bad conscience’ and related matters.” The first point he illustrated that many peoples established their own belief systems out of resentment (revenge, envy, etc.) towards other, more successful entities. As was mentioned prior, those who followed Abrahamic beliefs held emotions of resentment towards the Romans and their prideful ways of living, and had greater longevity in terms of who lasted longer. One other example Nietzsche gave was anti-Semites during his time and their resentment towards the Jewish; given that Nietzsche was one of few Germans with negative views towards anti-Semitic beliefs (given that he argued that Jewish beliefs helped build Germany as a nation during that time), he would deduce that anti-Semites also held feelings of resentment towards Jewish people. Afterwards, Nietzsche then illustrated that resentment leads to ‘bad conscience,’ which then leads to feelings of guilt. He then argued that this resentment towards “superior” people had merged feelings of vengeance with justice (Nietzsche 48; or, how the combination of resentment and guilt has been utilized in morality: namely punishment, which weaponized guilt as a way for those who acted upon their resentment (Nietzsche 52-54). In a way, we’ve used this model of punishment in many stories and myths to show what happens to the “morally unjust.” This line of reasoning,
