Yes. How couldn't you debate yourself? MORE!!!!!!!

Amazing! This came from stoic paraconsistent logic, which accepts contradition. Nietzsche was very influenced by the stoics. Keep the great job! ❤

[@NietzscheAcademy]

Thank you! Yep, absolutely agreed. I have wondered myself what would an opinion exchange between Epictetus or Marcus Aurelius and Friedrich Nietzsche look like. Nietzsche is more about channeling and using the emotions, whereas stoics are more about controlling them and keeping them at bay (imo). But Negative Capability definitelly applies to both of them. Thanks once more for your appreciation :) !

Maybe, can't help it, I am just indecisive and have to rely on my intuition to make the decision because the clock is up. I am not indifferent to everything but I can't get hung up on everything. So...what really matters?

[@NietzscheAcademy]

As you indicated it's a personal preferance. Only you can decide. :)

[@FrankBurnham]

No. Life is struggle. All you have to do is let go.

[@NietzscheAcademy]

Letting go is definitely also one of Nietzsche's principles although it may not seem like that on the first look. Sometimes the struggle is necessary sometimes, but other times it's better to let go.
