A must read for mortals

As on reclines on his deathbed, what thoughts, what questions are most likely to course through your head?

Will you lie there and say to yourself, "did i conquer as much as I could?"

OR

Will you ask yourself, did I overcome my condition, was I the best human being I could be?

As one travels the journey of life, the thought of conquering all life can become quite seducing. Is it the "will to power"? It is a deathtrap for many. It creates values that are obsolete, imprisoning. The will to power is a very misunderstood term. What power does this refer to? Man's power over other men? Man's power to conquer his insecurities or the power to deny them?
