Practicality should not be the determining factor of morality, since morality determines action, not the other way around. Comes first Hm... Whether said action is 'practical' or not should not be a determining factor. In that utilitarianism suggests the opposite (well, generally speaking. it does consider practicality a decisive factor nonetheless), Nietszcgsdhe found much to be disgusted at, understandably. Utilitarianism has right what proves beneficial for the majority. Utilitarianism thinks the best what is best for the most. And we have nietscxdgfdhwe who stresses how the difficult stuff in life (pain, uncomfortableness) are very important in making life something worth living. Pain is sort of a failsafe for any philosophy or knowledge, in testing. Sort of a no pain no gain thing.
Nietscdghne's own morality is based on moral abstraction. His 'virtues' are detached from circumstance and do not fail to apply if they're too difficult or too painful or whatever. In that I completely agree with him since I consider awareness and undertsanding to be more important that wellbeing.
In the other hand, a society fails to achieve the basic educational foundation so as to be aware if it's not at least generally content, materially... but I doubt nitesfsdgfhche cared at all for how his morality were to be applied massively.
