Moral Of Black Beauty

The genealogy of morals

On the Genealogy of Morality: A Polemic (Genealogy of Morals) is an 1887 book by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. It consists of a preface and three interrelated essays that expand and follow through on concepts Nietzsche sketched out in Beyond Good and Evil (1886). The three trace episodes in the evolution of moral concepts with a view to confronting "moral prejudices", specifically those of Christianity and Judaism. Some Nietzsche scholars consider Genealogy to be a work of sustained brilliance and power as well as his masterpiece. Since its publication, it has influenced many authors and philosophers. In the "First Treatise", Nietzsche demonstrates that the two opposite pairs "good/evil" and "good/bad" have very different origins, and that the word "good" itself came to represent two opposed meanings. In the "good/bad" distinction, "good" is synonymous with nobility and everything which is powerful and life-asserting; in the "good/evil" distinction, which Nietzsche calls "slave morality", the meaning of "good" is made the antithesis of the original aristocratic "good", which itself is re-labelled "evil". This inversion of values develops out of the resentment of the powerful by the weak. In the "Second Treatise" Nietzsche advances his thesis that the origin of the institution of punishment is in a straightforward (pre-moral) creditor/debtor relationship. Man relies on the apparatus of forgetfulness in order not to become bogged down in the past. This forgetfulness is, according to Nietzsche, an active "faculty of repression", not mere inertia or absentmindedness. Man needs to develop an active faculty to work in opposition to this, so promises necessary for exercising control over the future can be made: this is memory. Nietzsche's purpose in the "Third Treatise" is "to bring to light, not what ideal has done, but simply what it means; what it indicates; what lies hidden behind it, beneath it, in it; of what it is the provisional, indistinct expression, overlaid with question marks and misunderstandings" (§23). As Nietzsche tells us in the Preface, the Third Treatise is a commentary on the aphorism prefixed to it. Textual studies have shown that this aphorism consists of §1 of the Treatise (not the epigraph to the Treatise, which is a quotation from Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra). This opening aphorism confronts us with the multiplicity of meanings that the ascetic ideal has for different groups: (a) artists, (b) philosophers, (c) women, (d) physiological casualties, (e) priests, and (f) saints. The ascetic ideal, we may thus surmise, means very little in itself, other than as a compensation for humanity's need to have some goal or other. As Nietzsche puts it, man "will rather will nothingness than not will".

Shadows of the Black Sun

Arlan Lok was just an ordinary village youth—until a savage cult bearing the emblem of a Black Sun razed his home, abducting his beloved younger sister. Left for dead and armed only with an ancient System-bound amulet, Arlan embarks on a desperate mission to rescue the last of his family from a demonic conspiracy that threatens the entire kingdom. Guided by newfound allies—like the resourceful mage Sera and veteran guild captain Vars—Arlan rises from obscurity to become a recognized champion. As each triumph grants him new levels and mystical abilities, he uncovers the cult’s terrifying plan: to unseal the Demon King Azrath, a being once banished from the mortal realm. Across shattered ruins, royal capitals, and hidden temples, Arlan must wage battle against scheming cultists and corrupted monsters alike. But with the fate of countless lives, and his sister’s, hanging in the balance, Arlan soon discovers that true power lies not just in wielding a sword, but in uniting hearts against the gathering shadows. Amid court intrigue, grueling tournaments, and epic clashes with monsters empowered by forbidden rituals, Arlan’s courage ignites hope in a kingdom on the brink of despair. If he can master his System’s gifts and forge alliances among knights, mages, and fellow adventurers, he may stand a chance to banish the Black Sun’s darkness once and for all—before Azrath’s unholy resurrection plunges the world into eternal night.

The female clearly had no wings...so how come she was up there! Also...there were no flying beastmen settlements from where the female came from!!! "Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!" the female screamed falling from such a high altitude and her scream died down the next minute. "My Lord ...we didn't save her!!!!!" Parrick gaped in utter shock and disbelief. "Her scream surely attracted a number of other males. They'll go rescue her...and you too can go if you badly want to." "Huh!!!!!" Parrick was dumbfounded.
