Notion of Eternal Return

Rating: 8/10 (10 August 2019)

I get some of these allegories, including the biblical ones. Mine is Nietzsche's eternal return. One knows before the very end that the crystal is the essence of the Man's eternal return. And that the Man is coming back, and that the fire started everything in the first place. To Nietzsche, the question is always not whether one actually returns eternally, but whether one would live such a life as to want to do it over and over again. Well, why wouldn't the Man? He does absolutely nothing while the Mother cleans up after him, after all of his messes, and after all of his invitee's messes. And those messes are enormous, but the Man never lifts a finger. The Man feeds off the adoration of the public and the Mother but has nothing to offer other than his words which do not feed, quench thirst, or provide shelter. The Man is happy and narcissistic and has all of his needs fulfilled. Needs for love, needs for adoration, needs for a home, needs for immortality through procreation. As usual, what does the woman get out of this? Pain and heartbreak. But she keeps on picking up, and picking up, and repairing. When one woman wears out and enjoys the peace of death, another is right there to take her place. Just like any other abusive relationship.
