I want...

“I want what all men want – I just want it more”: a memorable line from a movie based on a story thousands of years old.

Is this true ? Is it as old as mankind ? What do we really want in the end ? Power ? Glory ? Something else ?

Is it the same for everyone or does it differ from individual to individual? Can we ever really obtain it ? At what cost ? What sacrifices does it require?

Assuming it is true, does the same or (more likely) something analog hold for women? If so is it the same with that of men (unlikely) in which case is what every woman wants compatible with what every man wants and vice versa ? If not how do these two can be reconciled?

The archetype says that Achilles falls for a woman…What is this fall ? Where does the glory lies ? Is it in the rise ? Or is it in the fall ? In the death or the re-birth of the Phoenix ?
