But what makes love for the world also impossible are two related claims that are central for Nietzsche: that the will to power is insatiable, and that love ceases with having. The two together imply endless striving for an unending stream of new conquests, new achievements, new things. As a result, love can only flicker. It moves from place to place because it can live only between places; if it took an abode, it would die. [But] a better way of thinking about the relation between desire and possession is available. We can actually long also for what we have, and unless we do, we can never genuinely love the world — or anything that is in it.
