About this Quote

This quote by Friedrich Nietzsche recommends that the desire to not create damage or annoyance to others can be indicative of both a simply and an anxious personality. This implies that the exact same habits can be interpreted in different ways depending upon the context. As an example, an individual who is just as well as kind may not want to cause injury or aggravation to others out of a sense of morality and also justice. On the other hand, an individual that fears might not intend to cause damage or nuisance to others out of concern of the repercussions. In either situation, the need to not create injury or aggravation to others is a sign of a solid moral personality. Eventually, this quote recommends that we need to not judge individuals based on their actions, but rather make the effort to understand the inspirations behind it.
