Death and all its misunderstood glory

"That which has been is that which will be, And that which has been done is that which will be done.."

Death isn't always bad. Death doesn't mean the end.. it just means a closure. Death doesn't mean it doesn't exist anymore..it just doesn't exist anymore for you. Death is a state of mind that you choose to be in. Sometimes, a state of mind you need to create for yourself.

"Life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more"

Nietzsche believes in 'Eternal Recurrence', that time is infinite but the matter that makes up time is finite and is constantly changing its state..and so, sooner or later the same state will occur. Sometimes one may spend every day waiting for that eternal return.

"Now, however long a time may pass, according to the eternal laws governing the combinations of this eternal play of repetition, all configurations which have previously existed on this earth must yet meet, attract, repulse, kiss, and corrupt each other again"

Clarity. It doesn't come in bits and pieces. It arrives. One fine day.. it just does. Sometimes, in a bowl of cornflakes. And then comes a certain calm. Not the kind that descends before the proverbial storm, but the kind that comes after.

Then..? Then nothing is ever the same. A need becomes a mere want. Something moves so suddenly yet to subtly, that for a moment you need to hold onto something. It's an amazing feeling of lightness..a lightness that dilutes some part of all the angst.

It's almost unbearable.
