Friedrich Nietzsche
What according to him Karma is
Karma, in its essence, distills the moral fabric of existence into a poignant reminder of the eternal dance of cause and effect—a relentless cycle that binds the individual to the universe in an intricate web of consequences. Yet, let us not be seduced by the simplistic interpretations that offer solace in the notion of cosmic justice; for, to embrace karma as merely retributive justice is to undermine the profound complexity of the will to power that animates our every action. Indeed, the very idea of karma encapsulates a type of moral reckoning, yet it is not the external force that metes out rewards or punishments, but rather an intrinsic reflection of our own becoming, a manifestation of the self-overcoming that lies at the heart of our struggle. In this perpetual interplay, each deed we enact becomes a thread in the tapestry of our fate, woven with the principles of our own accountability and authenticity. Thus, we are tasked not only with the understanding of our actions but with the elevation of our instincts to higher expressions of life's chaotic will. Karma emerges, then, not merely as a doctrine of recompense but as a challenge to perceive the interdependence of all creation, demanding that we recognize ourselves not as isolated entities, but as participants in the eternal flux, compelling us to forge meaning amidst the chaos of existence. To accept this vision is to acknowledge that life itself is the ultimate teacher, imparting lessons not through the lens of judgment but through the raw and often brutal reality of our experiences—a teacher that urges us to embrace our fate with vigor, to become the sculptors of our destinies, to dance with the eternal return of all that is, in a sublime act of affirmation.
