Nietzche - Eternal Recurrence || Sharing myself about this theory
I stumbled upon a video on Facebook talking about this Nietzche theory and I was intrigued by it - wanted to do a post entry ranting about this and sharing my point of view.
This theory talks about that the Energy and existence in the Universe is recurring and all of the things that are happening will happen again and again - and so it is part of an endless cycle.
Nietzche talks about a tale that says that a demon presents himself with a man one night and tells him that his like - will be repeating itself again and again after his death and asks him that if he would like to live that life again and forever be in that eternal cycle.
Would you like to live the same life over and over again?
Imagine that you had the opportunity to repeat your life experience for eternity. Dying and start over again with the same life experience, same family, same pain, same body.
Would you say it is a curse or a gift?
I was watching the video and I asked myself that and I answered to myself that *Yes, I would like to live this same life experience? I have enjoyed it - I am grateful I was born in this family and in this city and in this period of time. I have had bad moments in my life but has assisted me in being the way I am now. I will change one or two things but I love my mom, my family and the cats and dogs I have had in my life.
This also gave me the opportunity to ask myself if I am living my life to the fullest and if I am doing what I want and enjoy.
Another question came up ....
Am I living my life or life is deciding how I have to live?
That is very interesting indeed, I have said to myself and decided since I was young that I was going to decide for myself what to live and experience due to knowing all information and knowledge I have gathered are programmed - I didn´t wanted or I don´t want to live what others tell me to. You know; follwing the same path: Growing, studying a career to have a job,having a relationship to then marry and have childrend and then die. I see all of that as something boring and pre-programmed and I want to go and find my own path. Has been difficult to do, because the system and people around you doesn´t assist you to continue doing so and they see you as crazy or irresponsible, but I have had fun.
I think/consider I have decided for myself without feeling fears in relation to be who I want to be and I al doing things that has left me a lot of good experiences that made me built the common sense I have know and I have learned to love myself and live my life in an honest way.
So yes, I would want to live my life again I would make some changes, for example in building more self-trust in my chidhood to stop bullies and to begin having a fit life and so having a great body and I would make little changes in relation to reaching my dreams sooner. But it is a fact that I am not dying today and I have the opportunity to do this changes Now.
What about you?
Would you accept this theory?
Would you like to make this changes now or you will wait for another life?
Are you living your life or some-one else is living it for you?
