I've started reading secondary texts. My first text is Ecce Homo. I have really enjoyed this text so far, but at times have found it a bit haunting. Even the titles are a bit curious, they all seem to employ a great sense of ego, and narcissism. Nietzsche wrote this text only weeks before he descended into madness, and that madness is clear from reading it. I do see a lot of value in reading this though and how it will supplement my reading of Gravity's Rainbow well, but only time shall tell.
"My formula for greatness in a human being is amor fati: that one wants nothing to be other than it is, not in the future, not in the past, not in all eternity" (Nietzsche, 2004, 37).
