My friend Kevin was once dandling a neighbor's baby. The boy was too
young to walk, but if you held his hands he would pull himself upright
and stand there smiling, pulling on your arms, and jumping up and
down.
Kevin to the kid: "Schopenhauer said that the Will to Power is the
driving force of the universe. What do you think about that?"
Kid: jump jump smile smile jump smile
Kevin: "The will to jump!"
