More From Friedrich Nietzsche

You can be good for the mere sake of goodness; you cannot be bad for the mere sake of badness. you can do a kind action when you are not feeling kind and when it gives you no pleasure, simply because kindness is right; but no one ever did a cruel action simply because cruelty is wrong - only because cruelty is pleasant or useful to him, in other words, badness cannot succeed even in being bad in the same way in which goodness is good. goodness is, so to speak, itself: badness is only spoiled goodness. and there must be something good first before it can be spoiled.
Kindness Giving Feelings
When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.
Mean Evil Trying
Badness cannot succeed even in being bad in the same way in which goodness is good. goodness is, so to speak, itself: badness is only spoiled goodness. evil is a parasite, not an original thing.
Evil Catholic Way
Skepsis. i am a true skeptic, born under the noble sign of skepsis, the sign of the man who knows that all astrology is absolutely and without reservation the bullest of bullsh*t that ever there was. it is a senseless delusion that does not even have the benefit of being harmless fun. it is a harmful bore. harmful to the human spirit, harmful to the dignity and wonder of the real universe and the real power of the mind to think for itself. i hate astrology with a fervor that is almost frightening. - stephen fry (when asked what sign he would be if he could create his own zodiac)
Fun Real Hate
Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. evil is simply the absence of god. it is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of god. god did not create evil. evil is not like faith, or love that exist just as does light and heat. evil is the result of what happens when man does not have god's love present in his heart. it's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.
Heart Men Light
Since [narcissists] deep down, feel themselves to be faultless, it is inevitable that when they are in conflict with the world they will invariably perceive the conflict as the world's fault. since they must deny their own badness, they must perceive others as bad. they project their own evil onto the world. they never think of themselves as evil, on the other hand, they consequently see much evil in others.

I do not think that you can try and systematize education for the whole world. i would try experiments in small communities and in schools to see how they work out, instead of taking the children of an entire nation and trying to bring them up on the same system.

The problem is, i think, that so many of us pray as if we are ordering groceries. we pick up the telephone and say, 'is this the right place to place my order?' and we proceed right to dictating our order. when we have then ended that list, we hang up.
Thinking Order Telephones
We might possess every technological resource... but if our language is inadequate, our vision remains formless, our thinking and feeling are still running in the old cycles, our process may be 'revolutionary' but not transformative.

So, yeah, i think it had a major effect. i think in franchising younger people, it was just an idea that's never been trotted out before, but it makes perfectly good sense.
