POWER TO BE becomes evident in the continual struggles of being against nonbeing. Nonbeing is all aspects that negate and destroy being which include conformism which destroys uniqueness and originality; hostility which shrinks courage, generousity and capacity to understand the other; destructiveness; and death. A life process is the more powerful the more nonbeing it can include in its self-affirmation, without being destroyed by it.
