the will to power can be used as a criterion of evaluation towards others. those who dominate others rank higher than those who surrender to dominance. however, they are not the highest attainment. the height of the will to power is christlike, for the ubermensch is a self-dominating figure. this can be put in a crudely evocative way by saying, "the ubermensch is chained." by this i do not mean that the ubermensch has been dominated by the untermensch. rather i mean that the ubermensch is not one without values, nor are they a breaker of values, but rather the ubermensch is a forger of values. they decide the values with which they shall live. they forge their own chains, and look at the world with a love of their own fate, a determination to live out their will.
