Today, I want to discuss the philosophical concept of amor fati.
en.wikipedia.org
I've been thinking about the concept of amor fati for some time now and it's actually helped me though life. It's comforting to know that all the loss and sorrow in my life is ultimately necessary. As I learn more about this concept, I increasingly lose the need for emotional support. I'm becoming better at deriving emotional support from knowledge alone. This has given me great freedom and is gradually freeing me from loneliness, which is the price we usually pay for a self-directed and free lifestyle.
Civilization is just a temporary scar on the natural world which will not last much longer. By learning about nature, I have discovered that there is beauty in disappointment, and that the people who hate me are all mere mammals. Thus, I have gained the ability to see civilization as a warped version of nature, rather than being entirely separate from it. I believe that this is a necessary step towards achieving Amor Fati, as it allows us to look back at our in lives the way we would look at a wildlife documentary, and to see natural beauty in our own lives.
Here's what I've been wondering: Would it be possible to shove amor fati down the throats of SJWs? The purpose of amor fati is to free oneself from emotional issues, so that we can no longer be suckered in by feelz-based politics and instead focus entirely on our physical needs I.E. food, water and shelter. Would it be possible to spread this outlook far and wide in order to put an end to style-over-substance culture and style-over-substance politics?
