Summary of Nietzsche's argument against weakness: The soul is inborn to strength and dominance, and the weak does not seek, behind showing its weakness, except to obtain strength in a negative way, by degrading the amount of strength that it was unable to acquire in a positive way. This process takes place in a way that the weak himself is not aware of. The weak’s request for pity, for example, aims to achieve what he was unable to obtain by himself, by demonizing power, surrounding the strong with a complex of guilt towards his strength, and forcing him to atone for it by granting each weak the status that he failed to achieve. Acquisition of power in this way leads to curbing excellence, deterring exclusivity, and giving preference to all groups, which are also seeking domination through what their members cannot achieve uniquely. This pattern leads to the degradation of existence to suit the herd's need to avoid danger, ensure comfort and safety, and achieve what is difficult to obtain. Do we not resort to asking for pity in those moments when the means of fulfilling our will are denied? Does the lover not show his weakness in order to possess the feelings of his beloved by harnessing his sympathy for his benefit? That sympathy that the animals themselves get! Doesn't the loser show his weakness to gain the recognition he failed to achieve on his own? Don't people resort to these (negative) means, when all other means refrain from them, to obtain what they want through them? Manifestations of weakness are nothing but despicable means used by the cunning animal to extend its power over the world!
