The idea of eternal return is a mysterious one, and Nietzsche has often perplexed other philosophers with it: to think that everything recurs as we once experienced it, and that the recurring itself recurs ad infinitum! Whar does this mad myth signify? putting it negatively, the myth of eternal return states that a life which disappears once and for all, which does not return, is like a shadow, without weight, dead in advance, and whether it was horrible, beautiful, or sublime, its horror, sublimity, and beauty mean nothing. -The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Milan Kundera To reread or not to reread...? Not a question, sid syndrome kicking in. yaha
