Nietzsche splits people into two basic types: those with a master morality and those with a slave morality. Both types of morality can be found within the same, one person. So, which one prevails? I think by default we associate with the slave morality. We can only adapt the master morality in time, feeding ourselves with power. In this case, Nietzsche says that the master morality is to seek happiness. It just so happens that the type of happiness Nietzsche talks about is power. Power, happiness, and “the good” are almost synonymous. Therefore, the master morality seeks happiness in power and, in return, this is the good for the person. One trait of the master morality is that he or she despises the opposite opinion of “the good” (i.e. “the bad”). This states that a person with a master morality despises a person with a slave morality for many reasons. People with a slave morality are like sheep; they follow the group, don’t think for themselves, and they are cowards. Nietzsche says that people with a slave morality, the common people, are liars. To take this one step further, I think that the lie they tell is to themselves. They don’t know what they strive for in life and are clouded in judgment of what is right and wrong, good and bad. (Just another reason for people with a master morality to loath those with a slave morality.) They seek judgment, assurance from others, whereas the master is the one who gives the judgment. He is one step, more than one step, ahead of the slave. One statement that really stuck with me was, “…the noble human being, too, helps the unfortunate, but not, or almost not, from pity, but prompted more by an urge begotten by excess of power.” A person with the master morality sees himself as better, and knows himself as better. The master is happy for everything that the slave is not and gloats in the glory.
