“HINDI MO NAMAN MADADALA SA HUKAY LAHAT NG MGA BAGAY AT PERA NA MERON KA.”
Picture this: in a small Paleolithic tribe, the strongest hunter dominates—he takes the best meat, the best mates, the glory. The others, weaker but more numerous, start to feel the imbalance. They can't fight him physically… so they fight him socially.
They invent a new kind of value: humility.
“The truly good man shares.” “The proud are cursed by the spirits.” “Those who boast will fall.”
It’s not about objective goodness—it’s an emotional survival tactic. A way to reframe power, to soothe resentment, to turn their weakness into virtue.
So now, the hunter feels pressure not just to hunt—but to appear humble doing it. And the moral revolution begins.
This is the seed of what Nietzsche would call slave morality: values created not by the powerful, but by those who needed a reason to feel superior in other ways.
