They create a divine will to power within us, and give us a true understanding of the eternal promise of spring, or the eternal promise of life and understanding. Plato believed that conquering and embracing life while recognize the inevitability of it makes up thought. Recognizing there is spring, and it will always return, is a major source of thought the thinker can reap, and the winter in his soul helps him resist perception and the real world around him. Winter commands the real thought to conquer obedience, and when the thinker obeys this command, he creates live, original thought, empty of perception and full of the awareness of true thought and cognition.

The formula becomes the living, human thinker, compared to last spring. He experiences the glory of springtime in the real world. Because he, like spring, obeys the authority of this live thought, he makes winter in his soul, in order to resist the reality...

Therefore, the thinker obeys last spring, to create live thought for the current spring, to suffer through the suffering of winter, to create an obedient but always thinking human. Thought becomes the sacred eternal spring inside the mind, and it happens because of will to power, respectful authority, and powerful compliance. Thought then, is always life getting better, overcoming obstacles, and creating itself anew. Many believe this philosophy of Plato's could be one of the grandest thoughts ever created by man.
To sum it up, thought is nothing more than the resurgence of spring, born out of winter, where it disappeared, and thinking is the tormented resistance to the real world, while acknowledging the boundless possibilities of knowledge. Nietzsche summed it up when he said, "I love him to lives to know, and wants' to know so that the overman may live some day. And thus he wants to go under."
