I
liked your observation that “there are hundreds of millions of people that live
by this code that have not read one verse of the bible. Or are not Christians”
Nietzsche
is one of the spectacular examples. He had his share of what we call suffering—chronic
diseases, his marriage proposals being rejected more than once …etc. Still, He advised
that there is nothing wrong with the way the world is.
If one lives along with
the way this world is, leaves oneself to it, and does not count on the
superficial items such as religion, science etc., then there is a new life in
affirming a new way of seeing things as they are--though
full of suffering and pain, but with joy, in which there is no longer
pessimism. Just by changing or converting one’s conventional or unconsciously
suppressed view and being able to accept the new way, one is totally free from
falsity. “This world is the will to power” and one oneself is “also this will
to power,” which is the only truth and reality for him. This affirmation of
reality of the eternal recurrence with joy is called amor fati. (a love of what happens). In effect he was living example
of what Jesus said in Luke 17:21
