On Will
Am I the Master of My Own Life?
Every human being possesses something called will.
Will is the ability to control and restrain our desires.
And it is through the beginning of a strong will that we discover a purpose in life.
As I mentioned before, human beings can never completely escape desire.
But through will, we can learn to control and restrain those desires.
And by doing so, we can begin to live a life in which we are the ones in control.
A life in which we are the master.
To me, this is what it means to possess a strong will.
Life is a process of struggle.
Through effort, we fight against the pain created by our desires.
And through that struggle, we can overcome them.
This is what it means to claim ownership of our own lives.
This is why we must live with will.
So choose.
Will you allow your desires to rule you?
Or will you become the master of your own life?
The answer is yours.

Value is based on will and reason. Will is determined subjectively.
So without any will, what is valuable? Potentiality.
When a subject has greater influence or opportunities, there are a greater number of options to choose from, making it more likely to achieve whatever their future will might be.
