Master Morality and Slave Morality


The initial, original, primordial and especially natural forms of what we call "morality" were established by the warrior aristocracies and other leader castes of ancient civilizations. These were the biological, mental and spiritual elite of ancient peoples.

The Master Morality is based on faith in themselves, self pride, in strength, in beauty and health. According to the moral of lords, the gifted has no obligation to abide by the standards of those who are weaker than him, and all his actions are obeying natural laws as a truly noble personality, they are like actions of a lion before his prey that would not be seen as "good" or "evil" but would be "beyond good and evil".

They consider good, everything superior and proud, strong and dominating, the constant struggle of life. Despise as bad everything that is the result of cowardice, fear, compassion, everything is weak and diminishes the vital impulse.

By contrast, the Slave Morality is born by the resentment of the oppressed, the sick, the weak and the loser, and it was a reaction to the Master Morality. They starting to condemn the values and qualities of the powerful. Once denigrated the power, the order, the glory of the lords, the slave comes to decree as "good" the qualities of the weak and exalts vices presenting them as virtues and spread them to the world.

The slaves create a morality that make easier their slave and incapable status. Since slaves are weak and can’t act under the rules of the stronger, they promote values such as meekness, submission, resignation, conformism, humility, compassion, mercy, pacifism, tolerance, equality, glorifying weakness and mediocrity and criticizing the power, the passion, the supremacy, pride, excellence, glory and strength:
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth. 
-Matthew, 5:3-5.
Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (...) For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the FOOLISH things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the WEAK things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the BASE things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence. 
-1 Corinthians 1:26-29. 

Slave morality is incompatible with Nature and its laws, since suppresses instincts and vital impulses.

According to Nietzsche:

The Jews achieved that miracle of inversion of values thanks to which life on earth has for a couple millennia acquired a new and dangerous fascination--their prophets fused 'rich', 'godless', 'evil', 'violent', 'sensual' into one and were the first to coin the word 'world' as a term of infamy. It is this inversion of values (with which is involved the employment of the word for 'poor' as a synonym for 'holy' and 'friend') that the significance of the Jewish people resides: with them there begins the slave revolt in morals.
