Summary

This quote by Friedrich Nietzsche reflects his perspective on what he considers "good". According to Nietzsche, anything that enhances an individual's sense of power, the desire for power, and power in itself is deemed as good. Here, power is not necessarily synonymous with the ability to dominate others, but rather refers to a personal drive and strength. Nietzsche's idea suggests that what is good for individuals is ultimately dependent on their capacity to assert themselves and fulfill their potential, rather than adhering to a universal concept of morality.
