Death Penalty (Does the state have the right to kill another person?)

My name is Friedrich Nietzsche. I was born in Rocken, Germany in 1844. I have always been a excellent student however with a precarious health. When I entered college I got interested in the idea of Arthur Schopenhauer. The idea that life is absurd and that the only reality is the one that we create with our own reason. I believe that a person must follows his own values and morality, have a complete and utter independence and strength upon one self. A man who can take the reality of the world and who has power above all. This is what I called the "superman". The death penalty in my perspective is a matter of choice. The state can either decide if the person that is going to be killed guilty or not guilty. The judge must play the commander and decide what to choose. The world for me has no rules, no morals, no values, so is it a crime to kill someone who is said to believe is guilty due to the state's reasonable decision? The state can decide what they consider wrong and right, what they consider a truth and a lie. Killing a person means strength and power to one self like Hitler. I can point out that for me he was a man of power and independence who controlled not only himself but the rest of his pupils and his people. He made his own rules and follow no one else's. The state must take the power and play by their own rules. Their is no spiritual or moral restrain because it doesn't exists. The lethal injection or the hanging of a person translates to power, the power they have over another person because you can kill him/ her if you wanted to. Their is no moral judgement or a sin that God will later punish you. The state must become their own gods and perform their own actions. God does not exists and the traditional values were made by people who conform to this absurd life.
