and if nietzsche's observations was he said morality is cowardice and what he meant by that was that most of what people claim to be moral virtue
is merely their fear to do anything that they would actually like to do
that society would deem inappropriate
has nothing to do with morality whatsoever and what they do is say i'm moral not i'm cowardly
and part of the reason for example why people are so attracted to
bad guy stories criminals and serial killers and all those sorts of people
is because those characters aren't fearful
they're just what people would be like if they weren't afraid
if the virtuous person is just abstaining because of fear
then all they are as cowardly criminal
it also means you shouldn't assume that your weakness constitutes a virtue
it's just
a place of weakness where generously can
flourish
