Nietzsche  thought that if we could accept things out of our control and not  agonize over them, life would be better. It wasn't just an acceptance of  things out of our control that he spoke of however, but an accepting of  everything...[/center]One of the strangest yet most intriguing aspects of Friedrich Nietzsche's ideas is his repeated enthusiasm for a concept that he called amor fati  (translated from Latin as 'a love of one's fate', or as we might put  it, a resolute, enthusiastic acceptance of everything that has happened  in one's life). To accept our past, including all our own personal mistakes and failures, and to do the same with what may come in the future. To  constantly question and punish ourselves over past mistakes,  shortcomings and inadequacies can send us into delirium.


Amor fati is an  answer to this self-afflicted torture. We should believe that things  have been, are currently, and will be, just as they should be, in all  aspects.  Nietzsche thought that not only should we accept all the horrors and  chaos in life but we should love them. They are an integral part of our  story. All the difficulties in life are intertwined with all the good  and one cannot be without the other. The tragedies of fate and the  missteps of being are one with the glories of grace and the wisdom of  humanity. We need to take the good with the bad quite literally. Not  only accept, but love the full picture of reality as it is.


He wasn't suggesting we live completely passively as victims to fate. One of Nietzsche's central concepts was 'Wille zur Macht', or the 'Will  to Power' which is in direct contradiction to a helpless mentality. What  he may have been advising instead, is that we have the wisdom to know  when we need to fight and overcome, and when we need to accept and  embrace the reality we find ourselves in. To be both drivers of change  and gracious participants in fate. "I want  to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things; then I shall be one of those who makes things beautiful. Amor fati: let  that be my love henceforth! I do not want to wage war against what is  ugly. I do not want to accuse; I do not even want to accuse those who  accuse. Looking away shall be my only negation..." - Friedrich Nietzsche, 1882, The Gay Science

Friedrich Nietzsche. The concept of "eternal recurrence"––"the idea that all events in the world repeat themselves in the same sequence through an eternal series of cycles"––is central to the mature writings of Friedrich Nietzsche.    Amor fati is often associated with what Friedrich Nietzsche called "eternal recurrence", the idea that, over an infinite period of time, everything recurs infinitely. From this he developed a desire to be willing to live exactly the same life over and over for all eternity

 Some may be thinking that "the big bang" runs contrary to creation. Not true.  God or otherwise an eternal source of energy, is in fact the greatest scientist, and wouldn't need to resort to "black magic" ("let there be light" in a literal sense), but would utilize the laws of physics and science that already exist.
