Week 7- Assigned Readings- On the Genealogy of Morals

I found it interesting how the first thing that this articled talked about is how humans are so ignorant but it gets even better because then it talked about how we don't even care or want to learn why we are so ignorant. The first thing I say to this is that it is very true but the problem with human nature is that we don't want to say that we are ignorant or call it ignorance but we want to hide it for as long as possible. Anything that can hurt us and not help us we want to hide if for as long as possible. This all starts off because we are greedy people that are always looking to benefit themselfves in any way possible.

We are most defiantly "self-absorbed" people. Here is the thing a lot of these ideas are not new and they go back from the very beginning of survival of the fittest. If you think about it, it makes prefect sense. We are self absorbed people why will because of evolution has told us that we have to be greedy or only looking out for ourselves if we want to be able to make it in this world. Here is my take on this, if you don't look at for your self who is going to look our for you?
You can say that I am proving there point but I am realistic. No one cares about anyone else, I mean take a look at your care and all those dents that you have in the door will prove that. But if you don't look out of yourself you will get ran over or like my baseball coach says you will just look like every other person in this world and will get lost in the mix. Sad to say I know but we have to be self absorbed or at least confident in ourselves that we can get the job done.

Then it goes on a little bit further to talk about human morality and this is where I am sum it up in less than a line that humans they don't have any morality and ethics, well i think we all lost those a long time ago. This was me giving up on the human race.
