Nietzsche Said the Real Sin in Cain and Abel Was Comparison, Not Murder

Everyone remembers Cain and Abel as a story about murder. Nietzsche read it differently — and the difference matters more than you'd think. In this video, we look at Nietzsche's concept of ressentiment (from On the Genealogy of Morality) and use it to reinterpret the oldest sibling story in the Bible. The murder isn't the sin worth studying. The real damage happened earlier, quieter, in the moment Cain started measuring his own worth against his brother's — and that comparison, left unaddressed, is the same mechanism running underneath workplace rivalries, sibling relationships, and every social media scroll you've ever regretted. This isn't a video about controlling your temper. It's about catching resentment while it's still just a feeling, long before it becomes anything you can't undo. Tell me where I'm wrong.
