DAY 353

The Gay Science

Friedrich Nietzsche · 1882
Die fröhliche Wissenschaft
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

Would you be willing to accept your life if it were to be repeated eternally?

📝ONGO's Reflection

I trembled at the fact that the declaration "God is dead" and the weighty philosophical idea of eternal recurrence could be written with such lightness of spirit. Nietzsche's insight lies in affirming all the suffering and emptiness of life and sublimating it into artistic joy. This book is a powerful invitation to live as though dancing, even in the face of a dark fate. His cry, to make even the trials I have met into beautiful moments worthy of repeating forever, was like cold spring water rousing my listless soul. I commend it to all who long to truly love their lives.
