All that does matter is the “doing” or the “deed” itself, because there is no “good” or “bad” in and of itself.

It is this “pathos of distance” or “pathos of nobility” that helps separate those who have a “Master Morality” with those who follow a more “common and low minded” “Slave Morality.” Keeping these concepts in mind help us to realize that to follow a Master Morality requires one to have...
