Reply to comment by toblotron in The Eternal Return: Nietzsche’s Brilliant Thought Experiment Illustrating the Key to Existential Contentment by Raw_Spit
I would accept being me and living my life over and over again though I’m not sure I’m utilizing my life to the best of my ability but does that matter? Does this mean I still accept the eternal return? What is living life the best one can mean? That idea seems relative to the individuals perspective and desires, the only absolute clear answer is that we all die. I’m not sure I’m using my life the best way, but I only know my life and my perspectives so I can only live this life and I’m gonna die just like everyone before and after me.
Sorry don’t mean to ramble.

I think the idea is that the more you live your life to the fullest, the more you would embrace the eternal return - just my impression from the article -i certainly don't know much about Nietzsche:)

Sorry if i doubt that. It would put you closer to being the Übermensch than probably anyone ever. You sure there wouldnt be a single small thing you would have wanted to be different?

You don’t need to apologize for your opinion, why do you feel that way though? I love being me, you don’t love being you?

I mean I’m very accepting of who I am, how people are or can be and the imperfections of the world. I doubt even the most successful people In history wouldn’t change details and choices they’ve made because perfection doesn’t exist. What do you mean a single small thing? I regret yelling at my dog for having an accident in the house, I wouldn’t change my life or who I am 🤷🏻♂️
Like I truly just don’t want to or can’t imagine being anything besides what and where I am.
