re: #171 Slumbering Behemoth

I will defer to your judgment, then, as I have only read Nietzsche in English, and not the original German as you are capable of.

Your thoughts on “Eternal Recurrence”? I thought it was bunk.

It is a metaphor for the affirmation of Life. “Would you, given the choice between never existing as yourself or enduring your existence as yourself eternally, without change, choose never to have existed or choose to exist as yourself forever, in an endless loop, without change or substitution?”

It is in fact one of the most Christian of the questions he ever posed.
