Truth and NatureAs I read about Nietzsche and Loa Tzu, there is a growing similarity between the basic structures of both philosophical hypotheses with respect to the difference. Although the results differ, and the logic of both men's thought process is also drawn differently and suggests drastically different ideal lifestyles, both works, the Tao Te Ching and the Will to Power, advocate first and foremost acceptance of an immoral world, a world with no real good or evil, no up or down, but rather just man as he is and nature, connected to man, as he is. Human nature was originally thought to dictate a nature of man, a habit of man's control, while others side with the idea that man models himself on nature and that nature controls both man and nature. matter. As mentioned above, both theorists execute their theories differently, although here the similarity paradoxically comes through contrast. The will to power explains man's tendency to act in accordance with desire and, "(to put it mildly), exploitation," as ways of human nature. Nature belongs to man. Man becomes the creator of his own self-image; he aims to become the "value creator" among his subjects, and thus takes nature under his control. He becomes so powerful through controlling others. The power, the wisdom, the strength, the essence of living here is established through conquest. Now power (although even making such precise statements is clearly a challenge to Lao Tzu's attempts to explain the detriment of the definition) is acquired, or accepted by quietism, and meekness scorned by the Will to Power. Power, or true strength and nobility, is understood through the Tao as achieved through inaction, or flow (e.g., the illusion of the Tao on water), and not Niet......half of sheet...... of religion, especially Christianity (since it promoted the mentality of the weak slave and introduced the difference between evil and good and evil and good). In fact, Nietzche is famous for saying that God is dead and the Tao is famous for not being aware of any single deity. The holes and accidents of life, the unpredictable emotional inconsistency of life are not explained simply through power and interest, instead let us take accidents and mistakes as the foundation of life. Not all things follow power, nor does power, the ultimate goal of human ambition, achieve complete happiness, but rather promotes the impossible. Something needs to be said out of pity, for the sight of someone suffering and condemning both concepts. Neither weakness, nor passivity, nor understanding of nature would be sufficient to describe our actions in the face of hunger, holocaust or death..
