Lament of the Übermensch

*I apologise in advance for any seeming disconnectedness in this post, having been adapted from a response of mine elsewhere*

If the postulate that all concerned beings are slaves to desire is entertained, it may be easily imagined how a superior being would be caught up in what they may already afford themselves rather than perpetually seeking more. Of course there may be some instances which force them to act, but it is unlikely that such things ever become more than the occassional budge on the stationary pendulum (even without making any hypotheses as to 'how' their functions may be like).
Thus in renouncing the escape to other-wordly concerns there lies a new danger, that of complacency and loss of further motivation once a certain tier is reached.
