The will to life is what affirms human identity. Decisive action affirms the will to life. Indecisiveness or moral questioning denies it. Compromise and equivocation represent a form of intellectual dishonesty. Man must say either yes or no to life, there is no middle path.
Man is like a tightrope-walker, who either stands on a rope or falls off.
If man refuses to step onto the rope, he is being intellectually dishonest. Man must take responsibility for his decisions. There is no way to evade personal responsibility. For Nietzsche, life has meaning insofar as it reflects the will to power. The meaning of an individual's actions reflects the will that is placed in them.
