Nietzche claims that "for a time the tyranny of such paradoxical and paralogical concepts as 'guilt', 'sin', 'sinfulness', 'depravity', 'damnation' " (128). I agree that these words and the ideas behind these words exercise some amount of control over people. They exercise control over me due to my beliefs, but people subscribe to these. They say, 'i accept these beliefs as true and therefore accept the meanings behind this new vocabulary i will begin using'. The people who use these words choose to put meaning into them and are not under a tyrannical rule, but under a governing system they agree to. John Locke's second treatise of government (reading in leadership studies) discusses how people choose to be governed or not. This is definitely a situation where people choose to be ruled (in this case by words) and thus the system is a legitimate and appropriate governing system.

So again, sorry Nietzche i have chosen to go against your thoughts. I do agree with some of your stuff, its just more fun to write about things i don't like.
