Maybe this is what Nietzche was suggesting by will to power, but I gather he was implying action rather than a mental conception of oneself. Could be wrong here.
Anyway, I’m amazed at how some people will bash someone for being condescending or arrogant, saying they are repulsed by any superior display, while at the same time positioning themselves in the category of being right, whether by opinion or by acting example.
I dont want to focus on the hypocritical nature of their argument, but rather their drive to be “the camera behind the camera” so to speak.
I’ve noticed that in reading a book of fiction, I identify with the character that has a superior way of responding conflict. I say to myself, “Hey, I can use that way of dealing with conflict if I ever am confroted by that same situation.”
Anyway, I’m better . . . just kidding. Feel free to discuss any aspect of RIGHTNESS
