Opinions can never hurt someone, but assumptions sure can.

"I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws.” Nietzsche often criticized the moral framework that he believed stemmed from religious or societal norms, particularly those that valorize qualities like meekness, humility, and compassion. In his view, these morals often serve as a refuge for individuals who lack the will to power, which is a fundamental drive Nietzsche posits exists in all individuals to some degree. The “weaklings” Nietzsche mentions are those who conform to societal norms not out of a genuine sense of goodness, but rather because they lack the “claws”—the strength, will, or capability—to act otherwise. They’re ‘good’ not out of moral choice but due to their own limitations. According to Nietzsche, these individuals may call themselves ‘good,’ but their goodness is a passive result of their inability to be otherwise, rather than an active moral choice. They equate their lack of capability for harmful actions with moral superiority, which Nietzsche finds laughable and a misunderstanding of what true moral strength entails. For Nietzsche, genuine goodness or virtue is a product of strength and an affirmation of life and one’s will to power. It is about possessing the “claws” to act in various ways but choosing to act in a manner that one deems as authentically good or meaningful.
