Eternal recurrence
Nietzche proposes an interesting idea. Definitely one to ponder. I know that living the same life over and over again is a myth, but it makes me wonder whether or not I would want this. On the one hand, it would be nice to be living again, to experience life again, and to go through some of the great experiences that I have gone through. On the other hand, I have had some bad experiences, and I don't know if I would want to go through them again. And the other thing that would be an issue is whether or not I would have knowledge of already having led this life. If so, then it would be torture to have to go through it again, and actually quite impossible, because then I would intentionally do things differently just to make sure I didn't live the same life. All in all, even though it is a myth, I definitely wouldn't want to go through the same life again.
