Because he was talking about compassion in a very specific sense.
Nietzsche means the kind of compassion that reaches out to help anyone who wants to sit on the back of his assistant and solve their problems at his expense.
These are not people who are in a difficult situation and can't get out – it's not about them, but about those who themselves are so unwilling to try and do at least something in their lives that they choose the path of dependency and exist at the expense of other people's pity for him. Such people are unlikely to cause you warm feelings, because their unhealthy unwillingness to live independently is a real problem.
About such people it is said: “push the falling one”, because the falling one here is a clown, depicting the lack of strength to live in order to evoke compassion. And so there is something deeply wrong with such compassion, because it has ceased to distinguish between people in trouble and people who pretend to be in trouble.
Even animals have a natural compassion.
Some people give up compassion only during periods of severe trials and lack of means of subsistence.
Nietzsche was afraid that something was not enough for him personally.
Here you need to understand Nietzsche himself and his background.
Nietzsche is a traumatic person whose life was full of suffering both physically (head) and mentally (relationship with parents). And the extent of Nietzsche's suffering can be estimated at least 9 points out of 10. At least according to his or his wife's stories.
And Nietzsche, as a traumatist from the point of view of psychology, denied suffering only as a psychological defense of his own mental health.
Therefore, co-suffering implies that you suffer together with the person you want to help, support.
To understand this, try to imagine a similar case when a person with a strong allergy to sunlight (or even with a tendency to skin cancer) begins to preach the rejection of tanning beds and tanning under the July sea sun after 12-00 and before 17-00.
Because that's what Nietzsche thought. No more than that. You never know who thinks so. Compassion is the most important quality of a real person. Because life is given to us to do good and fight evil. By the way, Nietzsche died in a madhouse.
Thanks for your reply. Let's think logically. From birth, everyone has a stock of qualities + we gain them throughout our life(develop). The second part of our qualities depends on the society in which we had to get. So if we find ourselves in a deliberately “weak” society, then it is very difficult to get out of its pressure, and it is almost impossible to get out on our own.�
1) That is, did Nietzsche take this into account when forming his thoughts?
2) How would you feel about it?
3) Maybe there are errors in my chain?
//ADDED
After analyzing the situation, I found the answer. When we find ourselves in a “notoriously weak society”, it is really very difficult to get out from under its pressure. Based on this, you need to show empathy and tolerance towards weak people!
no! If possible, look at it this way: where did such a society come from – empathy gave rise to it. That is, the general rules of selection (natural selection) should be present in a strong society, and all the morality imposed on us is just a chill on the body of humanity. It's hard to understand, but you can be a good person without today's morals. And the fact that Nietzsche's superman is the devil in the eyes of man only confirms what has been written.�
Only here's how to live on with this view of the world, you still need to come up with. Isn't it?
Because compassion is mockery, bullying, “disservice”, as well as weakness (or, more precisely, the burden of weakness). As a result, “degenerate” turns out to be both der letzte Mensch, who has broken out of the general selection, who receives compassion, instead of a natural “fall into the abyss” (from which the weak will not get out and pass on practical experience in avoiding problems to other people, but the strong will get out and continue their work), and weak and atrophied “personalities”, who gradually rot instead of real feats.
