The Sight from the Eagle's Ledge

From the Will to Power:

I just wanted to share this. We must remember in everything that everything happens just as it ought to happen. This ties in nicely with the Eternal Return and Amor Fati.

There are no accidents in nature, there is nothing that is "wrong" or really gone astray.

The incredible unlikelihood of mankind even appearing in the universe is so high that it may seem like a complete accident that we are even here.

However, in Nietzsche's view, it is important to remember that his ought is exactly the same as his is. Nothing ought to happen that doesn't already happen. The Universe, and with it mankind, ought not to be different in any way. Everything is affirmed and accepted in Nietzschean philosophy.

This can comfort one that no one is really responsible or guilty for the pain that life brings us. Everything is just as it ought to be.

Thus, anyone who really feels that something that has happened ought to have happened differently does not accept fate or the Universe and ultimately does not accept himself or other beings.

It is important that one does not question fate or fault it in any way.

Everything is just as it should be, everything happens just as it should happen, unless one wants or believes in a different universe. And that would be, if not achievable, insanity.
