>Pity is praised as the virtue of prostitutes.
Why was he so fucking edgy?
He didn't despise the weak - just the institutionalised forms that served to reproduce their servitude.
He didn't laugh gleefully as the wolf tore into the sheep - he raged at the shepherd who'd bred them to be sitting ducks

He misunderstood Stirner, and assumed that sentimentality is a spook that must be eradicated.

If you let another be your shepherd, you were already a sheep

An aristocratic, educated life with a preacher father that died while he was young. The death of his father places him in a position of powerlessness. His father preached the faith of the most powerful. He sees the powerful (God) as in fact, not powerful and nurturing of the powerless (him/his father).
He applies this perspective with a broad brush to society when it is simply his after the fact rationalizations for the immense powerlessness he felt at a young age.

I'd personally distinguish between pity and sympathy or empathy. The former is more condescending in its undertones, like the feeling you get looking at starving Africans on TV where you kinda feel guilty but don't really give enough of a fuck to do anything because they're more of an unpleasant fact in your mind than anything else. I'm not saying Nietzsche advocated philanthropy but he wasn't against the kind of genuine, passionate love or caring that people have for friends and family... he just despised the docility that figures like Jesus encourage.

and yet Nature needs both wolves and sheeps. The second ones to keep the belly of wolves full.
No, he's just trying to motivate himself as the natural stimuli from life are not from god and there is no meaning. He's his own mental conditioner and therefore a superman. He uses any shitty 19 century social science as an excuse

>nature needs
Excuse me, what? The only reason nature "needs" anything in this simple analogy is because the sheep are too stupid to stop eating all the grass and whatever else sheep eat, and need their numbers reduced by predators.
Humans are far more compllicated then sheep. Our predators are everywhere, and they are no where, sometimes we are the only ones who are a danger to ourselves.
