will to power

The "Will to Power" is a concept from philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, referring to the fundamental drive or desire in humans to assert and enhance their strength, influence, and vitality. It suggests that beyond basic survival instincts, individuals and beings are motivated by a desire to grow, achieve, and assert their presence in the world. This drive shapes behaviors, ambitions, and values, fueling both personal development and societal progress. In essence, it highlights a natural, fundamental urge to assert oneself and reshape one's environment in pursuit of growth and self-assertion.
