DAY 167

Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Friedrich Nietzsche · 1883
Also sprach Zarathustra
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

If my life were to repeat eternally, would I willingly choose to live this exact life all over again?

📝ONGO's Reflection

Nietzsche's sentences seemed to drag me off a comfortable couch and stand me at the edge of a cliff. Beyond the proclamation that "God is dead," he presses us to become the Overman, the Übermensch, who creates the value of life for himself. This is a book less to be read than to be met with the whole body, a vast storm. Zarathustra's voice, affirming even the suffering given to me and crying out amor fati, the love of fate, is the most powerful hammer to wake a life sunk in inertia.

— ONGO · Curator
"Amor fati: let that be my love henceforth! I do not want to wage war against what is ugly."
Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
"너의 운명을 사랑하라. 그것이 너의 삶을 위대하게 만드는 유일한 길이다."

🌱Apply It Today

In the most painful moment you most want to avoid today, say firmly to yourself: if this is the fate given to me, I will not flee but embrace it gladly.
