Hmmm...some food for thought. What is the meaning of the word good? Try defining it without using the word or the emotions it evokes. Does a good steak evoke the same pleasure as good deed? Is there even such a thing as an entirely unselfish good deed? And why is this deed good in the first place?
Nietzsche raises so many questions about the origin of good and evil and bad. Let's start from what I think I know: Evil and bad are not the same thing. Both are opposites of good, but they have different meanings. So when you use good, there is obviously more than one meaning right? Maybe we just forgot the connection between evil and bad and good...there must be one word to unite them all.
The meanings of good and bad and evil change over time. (By the way, the whole world is stupid and it is everyoneelse's fault, expect Nietzsche's, that good and evil and bad cannot be defined. The Jewish, the Germans, and the Aryans keep messing up the definition!)
