Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

Dangerous Helpfulness. There are people who want to make men's lives more difficult for no other reason than afterwards to offer them their prescriptions for making life easier -- their Christianity, for example.

Dangerous Helpfulness. There are people who want to make men

Summary

This quote by Friedrich Nietzsche is a critical statement on those who intentionally create difficulties for others just to provide them with an easier solution afterwards. Nietzsche refers to religion, particularly Christianity, as an example of such dangerous helpfulness. He suggests that some individuals exploit the vulnerabilities of others, presenting them with religious ideologies with the intention of exerting control or gaining power over them. Nietzsche highlights the deceptive tactics that can be employed by those who manipulate others under the guise of providing assistance, hence deeming this kind of helpfulness as dangerous.
