That's a rather grim look upon life isn't it ? Surely most of us don't really care about power? The ones in power and the ones trying to get into power may have your point as life's goal (including your 5-step plan). But surely most of us "regulars" have better things to do in our lives.

"What if my life, this world is a big lie? What if I am wrong?" Yes I did ask myself (and still do on a regular basis). But I figured: "Life isn't a question, it's whatever you want to make of it".

So it's maybe a lie, but so what ? It seems to be the best we can do so far. And looking back into human history, we really don't seem to be doing that bad.

So come on ! Cheer up! Things can only get better !
