"They have denied that love of fate (love of the injustices
and alienations and exploitations of time) can be good. Is
it not just a sufficiently deep and sustained hatred of these
iniquities which brings men to fight and to overcome them?
But Nietzsche's love of fate is not passive, but a call to
dynamic political doing. He states explicitly that any
philosophy must finally be judged in light of its political
recommendations. What he is saying beyond many Marxists is
that the building of the potential height in modern society
can only be achieved by those who have overcome revenge, so
that what they accomplish comes forth from a positive love
of the earth, and not simply from hatred of what presently is.
Dynamic willing that has not overcome revenge will always have
the marks of hysteria and hatred within it. It can only pro-
duce the technical frenzy of the nihilists or the shallow
goals of the last men. It cannot come to terms with the quest-
ions: "what for, whither and what then?" However, against the
complacency of any easy amor fati, Nietzsche makes clear that
it must take into itself all the pain and anguish and ghast-
liness that has ever been, and also the loathing of that
ghastliness and pain. Hatred against existence is, it would
seem, limitless, and the more we are aware of the nervous
systems of others, the more that hatred and hysteria must be
actual or repressed from us. Only those of us who are not much
open to others can readily claim that we think existing to be
as we wanted it. Amor fati is then a height for men, not in
the sense that it is easily achieved or perhaps ever achieved
by any human being.The redemption that Nietzsche holds forth
is not cheaply bought."
okay... that was mistake #2! ;-)
