Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future (1886) by the famous philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche is a remarkable work which offers a treatise on "Perspective of life". "Perspective of life", according to Nietzche, is "beyond good and evil", refuting the existence of a universal morality for all human beings. This works discusses and exposes the deficiencies of so-called "philosophers" and identifies the qualities of the "new philosophers" which are imagination, self-assertion, danger, originality, and the "creation of values". It also contests some of the key presuppositions of the old philosophic tradition like "self-consciousness", "knowledge", "truth", and "free will". The book interestingly offers the "will to power" as an explanation of all behavior.

We need to have compassion for the misunderstood. As a church, we need to be knowledgeable of current fads, and common problems in societies and families so we know how to respond to crises appropriately. As a church, we need to encourage as a safe environment for those in need. We need to minister to people with open minds and open hearts. And we need to know when it is time to reach out for professional help.
