If you learned that when you died your life would start all over again and be exactly the same what would you feel?

“My formula for greatness in a human being is amor fati [love of fate]: that one wants nothing to be different, not forward, not backward, not in all eternity. Not merely bear what is necessary, still less conceal it … but love it.”
Nietzsche

I must not be great. I don't know that I would love it. Certainly many many parts of my life I would love knowing I would experience again. Maybe there will be a time for my loving the circle of this life of mine.

How about you?

There are things I’ve thought I would want to do differently if I had a do over. However, if in order to have the same wife, the same children, and the same grandchildren as I have now, I would have to live the exact same life, I would embrace it and love it.

Good for you. I wonder how many exmormons can say that?

I should point out that I didn’t marry until after I’d left the church. My wife knows literally nothing about Mormonism.

The blessings of leaving the Mormons might include strengthening and nourishing the soul. Their promised blessings are in leaving and not staying.

Since humanity came into being, man hath enjoyed himself too little: that alone, my brethren, is our original sin.

--Friedrich Nietzsche--
--Thus Spake Zarathustra--

If there’s room for correction, this is what I’d correct, each round of the gyre.
