    'Your truth is met with a myriad of different truths - which leads to a humility. 'That is beautiful.

    I like this topic. Lately, I've been dealing with "feeling my authentic self" and when i do...I'll then record myself for my new channel WORK HARD PLAY HARD. It's been a stretch since my last video featuring myself, but i just will not create videos unless i mean them and I'm feeling authentic in my expressions. Authenticity for me, especially these days in America (politics included) means everything to me. I turn 57 in a couple weeks...so, i guess my soul isn't putting up with any more bullshit...even from myself. LoL! Peace from Wisconsin. ✌🌱

    Very deep thoughts in this video, almost poetic at times. I will listen to this a number of times to understand the depth of it. Its fascinating how we shift our thoughts, feelings and understanding of life as we age and see the broader canvas.

      Exactly: developing that broader canvas and wider perspective is one of the many privileges of ageing.

    From this one perspective on the world, yes this is useful Emmy. Sometimes in a spot where authentic behavior is often viewed with suspicion just hearing a rational person like yourself explain what we're trying to do helps make it feel a little less crazy.

    Hi Emmy, I have a question. In the European journal of Social Science ISSN 1450-2267 Vol. 55 No 3 September, 2017, pp.262-274
    titled *Implications of Friedrich Nietzsche’s Master-Slave Morality in Inter-Personal Relationship* it said that
    *_"Nietzsche developed strong aversion for Christianity and even referred to the traditional Christian ethics as slave morality. Slave morality, for him, is the morality for the weak. It is a place of solace for the lazy ones. In slave morality, silly ideas like equality and generosity are promulgated. This form of morality urges “virtues” like humility and pity. By so doing, it encourages people to live inauthentic life and deny obvious facts of nature. It makes a virtue out of weakness and cowardice. Thus, it prevents the strong-willed from reaching their full potentialities. Other qualities valued in slave morality include kindness, love and generosity. Nietzsche championed as master morality, the morality of the strong-willed. For the strong willed, anything considered noble, strong or powerful is good. The essence of master morality is nobility. Remarkably, Nietzsche holds that the noble man lives in trust and openness with himself"_*
    I don't quite get it. Why would Nietzsche be against ideas like equality, kindness, generosity, and love? Why regard them as weakness? Would it be true to say that what he is actually saying is that, in order to become masters of ourselves, we must not overvalue these virtues as end in themselves but see them as a stage of human development towards mastering a morality that goes *beyond* these virtues and not against them. I'd also like to know if you could recommend a book (perhaps one of yours) that interprets the master/slave morality in a more authentic way as best as Nietzsche intended it. There are many scholars and individuals online who talk a lot about Nietzsche's master/slave morality but surely there must be someone who knows what Nietzsche was getting at regarding his concern about the dichotomy of master/slave morality. Thanks!
