if it is fated, it cannot be changed... (Sisyphus must be smiling) how it is seen and interpreted by the artistic eye is another question...Bernard wrote:By altering it you may love it more. (that applies to fate in itself as much as more specific things that one loves) All things change anyway, so would it be more a matter of staying with what you love as much as possible by willing oneself along the path of the changes occurring with what one loves, aligning those changes to suit oneself more closely?Impenitent wrote:why alter that which you love?Bernard wrote:Nietzsche had tremendous will - there is no doubt - but this ultimate amour fati idea of his is the most unwilling of any of his ideas - yet he presents the ER as the central pivot of his greatest mouthpiece: Zararthustra. What would happen if we took his will and reconstructed the idea with will as the full protaganist, rather than the half baked way it exits within the eternal return manifesto? Will occurs within it only as will to affirm and acknowledge fate, rather than to alter it. Surely if will exists for anything it is to somehow alter fate... ?
