Nietzsche explains, "[Christians] are miserable, no doubt of it, all these mutterers and nook counterfeiters...they tell me their misery is a sign of being chosen by God; one beats the dogs one likes best; perhaps this misery is also a preperation, a testing, a schooling,...something that will one day be made good with huge payments of gold, no! of happiness"(47). Nietzsche is discussing the Christians ideas about what action to take when one is wronged. He is saying that Christianity tells us to turn the other cheek. Nietzsche believes that this is weakness. Christians turn the other cheek beacause they cannot fight back. My problem with Nietzsche's thinking is that he reduces people to the "weak" and the "strong". It's as though people are like animals to Nietzsche in natural selection. The more fit species overtakes the less fit and so on. Again, I don't see this in human nature. Part of what separates humans from animals are abstract concepts like compassion and understanding. I feel that inb general, most people do not jump to take advantage of the weak. They would instead go and try to help others. We cannot say this of everyone. Of course their are those in society who do go after others and try to take advantage of them in one way or another. But, for the most part, I feel that people in our society care about one another and are more likely to help one another than to hurt one another.
