Absolutely nuts article. Fella used the "with great power comes great responsibility" spider man quote as part of his argument. Is this a shit post?

Nitzchean assertion of self is fundamentally flawed, as all human interactions stem from relationships we have with others. Supreme, self-realising power cannot exist in a vacuum and beyond moral considerations because all human interactions have some morality attached to them. This is underscored in our faith, which is a relationship with God. He lays out for us the perfect moral conduct, which if followed, would bring results otherwise unattainable through sheer exertion of Self. It is faith and the Light flowing from beyond us that fill us with meaning.

Emptiness of nihilism and a desire to fill it with expansion of Self into that void, to cover it, only stretch and empty out the soul. When only the inward considerations of Self are reckoned, the boundaries of the world are ignored and any transgressions or injuries to the soul are brushed aside as weakness. This amoral conduct pushes people away and the emptiness of Self is laid bare to people who will have nothing with you. Nietzsche's own life epitomizes that outcome.
