The theory brought up my Friedrich Nietzsche is to believe that the life we live now will repeat after our death. I have an interest with this topic because of the film, Triangle (2009), a movie that is somewhat relevant to this idea about life repeating itself forever. I personally do think of this idea of life rewinding very interesting and thought provoking. If I were asked how I felt about the eternal recurrence, I would take the concept behind this theory and live on without the idea making my life meaningless. If life was going to repeat as soon as I die, then life really has no consequences. The people around me will have no meaning if they couldn’t continue on with their lives after I die, in which the world could just be a figment of my imagination in some twisted way. I’m not saying I’d throw my life away. I value life as much as anyone else does, but a man’s ambition in life is geared towards working hard in this life, he or she will be rewarded in the afterlife. If there isn’t an afterlife, then the big question of “what is the point in life” is somewhat meaningless. Now, nobody can’t convince me that the eternal recurrence is an actual fact on how the afterlife works, neither any religious theories will have an effect on I portray my life. I’ll just continue on with my life and live it day by day, planning steps ahead and see how it’ll go. What Nietzsche’s theory really does is show one’s self more about how they think and react to a new kind of perspective of life.
