No! One DOES NOT need to be "better than one ever thought one could be". One needs only to be sure that, and to accept that, the quality of the effort which one is investing in one's being is genuinely virtuous. - Period. Full stop. - One does NOT need to torture and torment oneself with judgements which waste one's time and energy on an obsessive self-loathing that is instigated by accusing oneself of not being better enough (not being adequately "better than one ever thought one could be"). Simple self-assurance, vis-a-vis one's virtue in one's efforts, and simple acceptance of the sufficiency of that virtue, is the supreme key. Amor Fati.

[@Hexnilium]

"Pain is weakness leaving the body." That's a phrase used by Navy Seals to endure their training and to grow stronger. By uttering it, repeating it, embracing it, the mantra reframes conscious thought into embracing pain instead of avoiding it. If you react to cold rain and try to avoid it, you'll feel anguish. If you instead embrace the coldness as a wonderful expression of nature, it will become exhilarating. The power is in the reframing, but you begin to become enlightened as this view of life's every moment from good to bad pervades your consciousness and you see the higher perspective of it all as miraculous, grand, divine in scale and scope. It's akin to understanding how small you actually are in comparison to the size of the universe. Once you see it, you are momentarily enlightened. To revisit that thought over and over trains your mind towards a more persistent perspective. When amor fati becomes your lens to which you have trained your mind to see everything through, then existence becomes less futile and instead full of wonderment in every facet.

[@Mii.2.0]

One word to describe this universally enlightening comment: *Based.*

[@KamiFrost99]

Well in a certain way, that's true If you get shot and you feel pain, it means that you're alive (Weakness leaving the body) If sometime later you stop feeling pain, you get shot again, and you don't feel anything, it means that you're about to die... or in other cases, about to faint (Weakness didn't leave the body)

Very well written. Thank you 🙏

[@Hexnilium]

@@Kens_mojo_dojo_casa_house It's physical pain, but mainly meant as metaphorical pain. In grueling exercise or training, it's your mental ability to squash the pain telling you to stop. There's a natural inclination by the body to inform the brain that you're going too hard such as the feeling that you get when trying to run a full blown sprint for as long as possible. Your body physically could run harder or longer, but your brain is telling you to pull back. Overcoming that sensation is where the mantra comes into play. It's retooling the sensors in your brain to withstand more by conscious command. It's not referencing pains caused by injury or illness.

I’m in my 54th year. I had a deep love of philosophy to guide me well in my late teens and early adulthood and out of my criminal family.

I returned to the Stoics a few years ago and this video made me realize I’d relegated Nietszche to the “edge lords” of my day (angry smart young men) but this message shines right on my central anguish of not being able to forgive myself.

This is such a tricky theme. One the one hand, finding beauty and being present in the present is obviously wisdom. But on the other, we have a natural mode that we cannot intellectualize our way out of. This must also be part of the acceptance of ones fate, a fate that was dealt you by what you are: Human (all too human). A balance must be achieved, but once you've opened Pandora's box, it's hard to get the lid back on. "Before enlightenment; chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment; chop wood, carry water." - Zen proverb. Nietzsche did what intelligent people often do in the face of fundamental adversity; they generate a narrative that covers the holes. (There are diagnostic labels for this, but I won't get into that). As his brilliant mind was racing, he fantasized himself into a protective idea of (almost) being super human. He was smart enough to realize as much, but he was powerless to stop it as his "intellectual addiction" spiralled him ever further away from what he really wanted. So let this be a warning to us all: You are _not_ super human and your intellect can only take you so far. If your basic needs are not met (some of which involve a level of social integration) you will pay the price, no matter what your ego tells you. A human is a herd animal that thinks it's an individual. In the face of your true existential parameters, your mind constructs and ego is swept away by the ruthless indifference of the natural order like so many chaffs.

Nietzsche is my spirit animal. So much of what I read from him and about him, just hits me right in my soul. I’ve always felt so nostalgic and a longing for things I could have done differently. I would lie to myself and others and say I would never go back to change anything, that that would be a disservice to the growth I’ve experienced, and the people I’ve come to know and love because of the paths I took; but deep down, I am as nostalgic as anyone, and always thinking of where I could be now if I had done things differently. I’ve felt the loneliness Nietzsche speaks of, and the feeling that the universe is actively plotting against you, or a life “doing everything it can to make you hate it”; I’ve felt it all too often. But the truth is that the lie I’ve always told, is the reality I am coming closer to everyday. That I should love this life in spite of difficulties, and for all the reasons that make it worth living.

It seems that the process of adulthood and the transitionary years between late adolescence and your early twenties seems to be a period of time where most people feel lost but you have always provided me with a sense of calm and ease, it's true what they say knowledge is power, it's the power to understand what is what has yet to be and what truly matters in the grand scheme of what is sometimes perceived as a careless universe. But there is pattern to the chaos and there is truth in the knowledge that if we are a people who are blessed with so much knowledge and so much emotion than existence cannot be a mere fluke of the universe. We are the living and feeling part of the universe that experiences itself and what time it is to be alive in the year we live in. Things may seem dark and bleak and abysmal from time to time, but there is so much beauty left if you are willing to find it, cherish it nurture it, and fight for it.

"For in great wisdom is great sorrow. " Nietzsche became those words, yet never resolved his childhood.. Paradoxical

[@cheeriobutt]

I continually struggle between my drive to be genuine and the emotions I feel about experiences and situations. In a sense, the concept of amor fati is one that bridges western philosophy to the tenets of eastern philosophy. I find amor fati to be inauthentic; it's an instinct of mine to reject the lifestyle as one that does not fit into my own....'operating system' (I'm a software consultant and short on vocab right now). As a result, life - to me - is a mix of jiffies of happiness mixed with long periods of emotional vacancy and occasional deep, long lows. One may argue that it'd be in my best interest to try to embrace amor fati, just as it would be to find comfort in faith. But my brain rejects it because my mind finds it as acceptable as....planning for a unicorn to appear.

No. Accepting yourself is pure nihilism. You need to work on something imperfect or you'll suffer. You can accept what is outside of that to not burn out, but what is tolerance more than a betrayal of your own values? If it was already included in your values it wouldn't require tolerance. If your values are your ideal values, tolerance would mean exchanging the better option for a weaker one.

[@crane5037]

No

[@jayantpratapsingh]

@@Dagdagandag that is not the kind of meaning/understanding implied by ‘acceptance’ in contexts like these and I assume, neither would’ve OP meant that by its usage. Although, I wouldn't prefer to go as far as "happiness" instead more stability and calmness, perhaps. A bit of krishnamurti might help one understand what "acceptance" signifies here, let me quote some pieces from the book, “Think on these things”: why are you afraid to be what you are? Why don't you start with what you are and not with what you should be? Without understanding what you are, merely to try to change it into what you think you should be has no meaning. Like most people, you have ideals, have you not? And the ideal is not real, not factual; it is what should be, it is something in the future. Now, what I say is this: forget the ideal, and be aware of what you are. Do not pursue what should be, but understand what is. THE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT YOU ACTUALLY ARE IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE PURSUIT OF WHAT YOU SHOULD BE. Why? Because in understanding what you are there begins a spontaneous process of transformation, whereas in becoming what you think you should be there is no change at all, but only a continuation of the same old thing in a different form. If the mind, seeing that it is stupid, tries to change its stupidity into intelligence, which is what should be, that is silly, it has no meaning, no reality; it is only the pursuit of a self-projection, a postponement of the understanding of what is. As long as the mind tries to change its stupidity into something else, it remains stupid. But if the mind says, "I realize that I am stupid and I want to understand what stupidity is, therefore I shall go into it, I shall observe how it comes into being", then that very process of inquiry brings about a fundamental transformation. How ever much I may try to become intelligent, my stupidity will remain. I may acquire the superficial polish of learning, I may be able to quote books, repeat passages from great authors, but basically I shall still be stupid. But if I see and understand stupidity as it expresses itself in my daily life-how I behave to wards my servant, how I regard my neighbour, the poor man, the rich man, the clerk-then that very awareness brings about a breaking up of stupidity. You see, the basic problem is that of change. When you ask, "What is intelligence and how is one to become intelligent?" it implies a concept of what intelligence is, and then you try to become like that concept. Now, to have a formula, a theory or concept of what intelligence is, and to try to mould yourself according to that pattern, is foolish, is it not? Whereas, if one is dull and begins to find out what dullness is without any desire to change it into something else, without saying, "I am dull, stupid, how terrible!", then one will find that in unravelling the problem there comes an intelligence freed of stupidity. You try it. Watch yourself talking to your servant, observe the tremendous respect with which you treat a governor, and how little respect you show to the man who has nothing to give you. Then you begin to find out how stupid you are; and in under standing that stupidity there is intelligence, sensitivity. You do not have to ‘become’ sensitive. The man who is trying to ‘become’ something is ugly, insensitive; he is a crude person.

[@jayantpratapsingh]

@@Dagdagandag The function of education, then, is to help you from childhood not to imitate anybody, but to be yourself all the time. And this is a most difficult thing to do: whether you are ugly or beautiful, whether you are envious or jealous, always to be what you are, but understand it. To be yourself is very difficult, because you think that what you are is ignoble, and that if you could only change what you are into something noble it would be marvellous; but that never happens. Whereas, if you look at what you actually are and understand it, then in that very understanding there is a transformation. So freedom lies, not in trying to become something different, nor in doing whatever you happen to feel like doing, nor in following the authority of tradition, of your parents, of your guru, but in understanding what you are from moment to moment. (Again, from the same book)

[@ramaraksha01]

It depends on your goal - when young we were full of dreams and aspirations and knew that fulfilling those dreams will mean lots of pain & suffering Kid A wants top grades and he knows he needs to sacrifice free time, playing sports, work hard, study hard, long late nights, less sleep, more worry Kid B doesn't care, he wants to be happy, so he sleeps in late, catches a late night movie, watches sports, plays sports No parent would urge his kid to be like Kid B But then we get old, our outlook changes - the best days are behind us, now we are done with aspirations and dreams - we slow down both mentally and physically and now comes the "stop and smell the flowers, be happy" Just a function of age

[@disheveling]

I think Carl Jung was greatly inspired by the works and life of Nietzsche, and modeled his framework of the collective conscious after many of his insights. Jung made note of Nietzsche's approach to dealing with the absurdity of life, but found it to be missing a vital component, to later build upon in his own conclusions in The Red Book and his other later works. Nietzsche had written of a 'will to power' holding value above all else: to push against the fate given to you, and channel your resolve through love for an absolute reality that you ultimately cannot control. This core tenet eventually lead him to his deathbed, broken and alone, a self-made pariah that dreamed of abandoning his hatred, his shadow, to transcend into a positive force for change. Reaching divinity through transcendence of suffering. Forcing the will to love the absurd, as his health deteriorated, as he was abandoned, as the sister he hated changed his undergarments on his dying bed. There is a certain madness that needs to be tapped into, to reposition your framework in such a way, to tap into the Dionysian pleasure found in the suffering. Nietzsche may have found that madness, a roundabout way of coming to terms with his shadow. Jung believed that Nietzsche weighed too heavily on will alone, and instead proposed an integration of a perceived shared duality in all humankind; there was a 'better' way to approach the shadow. There lies in all of us, a capacity for hatred, greed, corruption, and part of coming to accept and love the hand dealt to us comes from accepting this capacity, rather than repressing it. This integration, this acceptance of the duality within us, allows us to control the shadow and utilize its best parts. I think both of these philosophers, erudites, worked to pursue the depths of the human psyche, tapping into parts of the unconscious they may not have fully understood. Their words are invaluable today, and even now pave the way to unraveling the unconscious mind. Nietzsche may have suffered a bitter life toward the end, but Nihilism is not an inherently bitter or negative philosophy, it is simply the acceptance of our paths, meaningless as they are. There is great hope in Nihilism, in accepting the absurd and finding one's own meaning. Both of these people carry words that our modern society greatly needs.

Thank you for sharing this video. Learned of a new outlook that caught my attention and struck a nerve. Rn I needed to hear this.

[@BreadMPH]

It's very fascinating to consider that the whole concept of amor fati is very similar to the core idea of Buddhism - acceptance. Is it a mere coincidence that both Nietzsche and the Buddha arrive at this conclusion of acceptance? Or does it point to a deeper truth, namely that acceptance IS the key to leading a good life?

[@彗星蒸し]

I always enjoy seeing someone take notice of this pairing of very temporally and geographically disparate modes of thought. It's important to note, however, that while both approaches are elaborations on "positive nihilism," Nietzsche's ideas are functionally the ultimate expression of humanism, while every school of Buddhism presents something akin to anti-humanism. Neither approach is "better" than the other, of course, though the two can be digested most easily through the cosmologies they offer. Nietzsche's proposed "circular" universe is the truly eternal stage of the joys and sufferings of the actors upon it, who persist in their frolicking and follies for ever and ever, through endless iterations. However, very much to the contrary, the final goal of every Buddhism is the total cessation of dukkha (the end of suffering, via the total negation of the aforementioned frolicking and follies) which, with the final kalpa, culminates in the termination of this universe -- which is fine, according to this system, because all mutable souls will have by then ascended to some form of alien/very-much-not-human state in a "higher" plane of existence.

Due to selfish fear, I allowed a family member to get hurt, which haunts me constantly. I wish that I had a time machine, to go back in time to save them from the danger that I saw coming. I know I can't change it, but the pain of knowing that I betrayed my own morals and selfishly allowed someone I love to get hurt due to my own cowardice, that's the worst pain I can imagine a person with a conscience carrying. I believe that, if the individual is truly remorseful and desires to change their character to prevent further pain, then they deserve a second chance, no matter what they did or what their behavior was. It's easy for me to say this and open myself to forgiving the worst of the worst, but for me, it's been a long, bumpy, chaotic, terrifying road to recovery. Of course, I'm not minimizing or downplaying the suffering of the person who was hurt, but I know that they do not need to feel guilt or shame, because it wasn't their fault whatsoever. Anybody would accept them, anybody would love them, and nobody would label them for it. I do hope that, one day, I will be able to put all of this behind me and forgive myself for such a selfish act. Of course, keeping it a secret from those I love can't be helpful to my psyche, but them knowing also wouldn't be helpful to them. I'm not a danger to anyone and I didn't want what happened to happen. I just had information that would have prevented it, but was terrified about what would happen if I revealed it. Life isn't black and white, nor is it linear. It's all so confusing, disturbing, but in the right light, those qualities can be seen as exciting and fill one with a sense of adventure. However, when you are shrouded by darkness all the time, you can't appreciate the darkness, just like a person who's had an easygoing life can't fully appreciate the light that surrounds them. Yes, I casted myself into the darkness, but I do not wish nor deserve to live here forever, regardless of who I was, because who I am wants to become something even better than the past and present versions of myself. I believe that life is like playing a game of chess with your future self, unknowingly trying to put your future self in checkmate. I believe I almost have, and there was a time where I thought I did, but as long as I still breathe, and as long as I'm allowed to be loved by even just one human on this planet, regardless of my past inaction that led to the hurting of one of my family members, then I am not in checkmate. I guess my point with this rambling is this: I would love to be able to look at everything in my life, including what has been eating me for almost three years now, and be able to say that I love it all, that I'm content. Unfortunately, I can't see myself doing that anytime soon, but I do hope to achieve something like that one day.

[@adelinazakirova5347]

Everything that had happened leaded you to the present state of mind. The fact that you understand your mistakes and you feel guilt and shame about them - says a lot about your present self. It means you understand, you want to change and you already have changed. Your present self doesn’t need any suffering from the mistakes you made. You learnt your lesson, if you didn’t, you wouldn’t feel ashamed. You learnt and now it’s time to let go. You can’t change the past, but you can change your future. One day, when you ready, give your love to the past self and make a funeral for them. Sometimes when you go forward and let go you can’t keep dragging your past self with you, because it’s not you. And it doesn’t mean that you have to forget about your mistakes, no. You understood your lesson and now it’s time to prove to everyone that you have changed. Become the best version of yourself, act from the love and soul, and not from ego and mind. I believe, the person who was hurt by you, wouldn’t want you to suffer your whole life. You got this, we all got this. Without our mistakes, we wouldn’t be who we are today with the knowledge that can prevent from the same mistakes in the future.
