The Song: Conqueror (based on 'Bicycle Race' by Queen)

Push on and on and on until you've conquered all.  That includes yourself!  That includes all of those irrational mentalities that one possesses, either irrational desires or irrational fears.  Conquering and domination need not be 'dirty' words like some may consider them to be.  For instance a person who 'conquers' their own fear of heights can't really be considered to be doing something wrong.  Nor could someone who conquers their desire for alcohol be thought of as in the wrong.  This is the kind of domination that is good because it is for a good intention.  It's good in itself and it's good for the future of that person.  Ruling over things, conquering things, and dominating things need not be disrespectful towards those things, in the same way that a teacher rules over a student is not a disrespectful position to have, even though it contains an element of domination.
