Resentimiento, amor griego y amor cristiano

In Christian love, there is not the slightest hint of resentment, of bitter rancor against anything or anyone. There is no hatred that needs to disguise itself as virtue. Quite the contrary. Which brings me back to the beginning, to Nietzsche's thesis on resentment as the most delicate flower of Christian love. It may be granted that in certain forms of experiencing it by falsifying it, this has happened on occasion and perhaps still happens. But when one truly appreciates the enormous transformation that lies between the ancient and Christian ideas of love—a transformation that Nietzsche addressed only superficially and inaccurately—the thesis loses much of its apparent paradox. Nietzsche's expression is as profound and worthy of serious consideration as few others in this field. Precisely for this reason, because it has been taken so seriously, one must conclude with certainty that it is completely false.
