Weakness and Strength
Today, we talked about Nietzsche's philosophy and one of the points that I agree with is that it is absurd to expect the strong not to express their strength and the weak to express their weakness as strength. I like this point because I don't think it makes any sense for someone to hide their strength just because it makes other people weaker. If someone have a certain strength, instead of oppressing it and hide it away, it would be more beneficial if they use their strength for their own good and also for the good of society. And if someone is weak, it doesn't make sense to express their weakness and expose it further because they won't be able to improve their weakness and would actually strengthen that weakness.
Let's say that a person's weakness is stupidity, wouldn't it make more sense for them to try and improve their state rather than expressing this weakness more? If this person starts trying to be more informed and get more education, they will improve their weakness as they get smarter. If this person express the weakness more, then their condition wouldn't improve ,instead it would worsen their weakness.

I agree, I think a person would need to have an incentive that's comprehensible in order for that person to be willing to improve their state that stupidity is their weakness. I think once that person can understand that feeling of confidence not necessary becoming smart but having that courage and confidence to then expressing their weakness as a strength and not a weakness then there condition would improve.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this as well being that as a human being you natural show case your strengths. You wouldn't want anyone to know your weakness being that it's what make you weak and to many make you feel less of a person. Think about this way Superman was full of strength and power now what did people do to him when they found out his weakness try to destroy him. So why would anyone want to be weak?
