The second part of the first essay still focuses on the ongoing struggle between good and bad/ good and evil. Nietzsche focuses on the difference between lambs and birds of prey. Naturally, lambs should think birds are “evil” because they kill and eat lambs. But Nietzsche looks at the relationship in a totally different view. Lambs should not resent birds because they are strong and have to kill them in order to survive. I guess I would compare this to vegetarians and meat-lovers. Some vegetarians resent all the meat-lovers for killing and eating the animals. But Nietzsche would tell them that it is not right to think meat-lovers are “evil” just because they are doing what they need to do in order to survive.
The lambs are like the weak people and Christians and the birds of prey are like the nobles and the powerful. The Christians have restrained the nobles and their power, but it is not the nobles’ fault that they are so powerful; it is just their way of life. They should not be called evil and bad when all they are doing is living the only life they have been given to lead. The people that were once viewed as bad are now good, and those who were good and powerful have now been suppressed to evil standard.
By putting the powerful into the evil category, it shows that humans are scared of their own species. Why else would we not let those with the power do their job without calling them evil?
