Epilogue

1. From a universal perspective, deep suffering is necessary, healthful, and beneficial, if it doesn’t kill.
Great pain is useful and should be welcomed. Amor fati [love your fate]. It makes a philosopher deeply profound. Questions arise concerning beloved life itself. 2. After experiencing profound pain, a taste for artificial, cheering art is acquired. The horror of life is ignored. Like the ancient Dionysian Greeks, we have known the terrible truth about life and now appreciate the effects of an artist’s false, wonderful tones, fictional words, and fascinating forms.
