The philosophies of Christianity and Daoism both warn about the tragedy of violence, and describe the strengths that a person can achieve through peacefulness. While these philosophies offer parables and poetic sayings, Friedrich Nietzsche argued that Christianity champions weakness as its highest virtue, and in doing so, causes people to repress their own drives and will to power. Is it possible to embrace a philosophy of Christian or Daoist peace without starving the drives of our human nature?
