Strength

In our society strength is power. This power can be physical, intellectual, political or any other myriad of power. Strength in our culture is respected and strived for. In the past strength was mainly physical because that is how people were ruled and dominated. Today we have moved on and become more sophisticated, our strengths rely in the control we have over other people. You are strong if you are wealthy, you are strong if you are smart, you are strong if you hold a position of power. Strength is power.

Nietzsche views strength as good or bad depending on the perspective at which it is viewed. Strength can be bad if you are a "slave" who is oppressed by the strong and powerful. However this can also be viewed the other way. Strength can be a virtue if you come from a power segment of society, it can be a thing to strive for and once achieved it is amazing to behold. It all depends on perspective.
