No Nietzche for me...

Was just reading on Nietzche who wrote about how virtues like patience and obedience are just constructs by the weak in the attempt to make weakness good, and how egoism is bad.. He says there's no such thing as good and evil, cept that it's a religious concept.. also he wrote that 'God is Dead' and now life is for man to determine based on his own will.. in his 'Will to Power'...

While few philosophers would claim to be nihilists, nihilism is most often
associated with
Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche defined the term as any philosophy that, rejecting the real world around us and physical existence along with it, results in an apathy toward life and a poisoning of the human soul - and opposed it vehemently. He describes it as "the will to nothingness" - in this sense the philosophical equivalent to the Russian political movement mentioned above: the irrational leap beyond
skepticism - the desire to destroy meaning, knowledge, and value. To him, it was
irrational because the human soul thrives on value. Nihilism, then, was in a
sense like suicide and mass murder all at once. He saw this philosophy as
present in
Christianity and Christian morality, which he describes as slave morality, and in asceticism and any excessively skeptical philosophy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihilism
