what do you brahs think of the stoic concept of "amor fati"

interdasting af
Amor fati is a Latin phrase that may be translated as "love of fate" or "love of one's fate". It is used to describe an attitude in which one sees everything that happens in one's life, including suffering and loss, as good or, at the very least, necessary.

That’s exactly how I see everything, didn’t know there was a term for it. I have always said that life is about suffering as well, because it teaches you to learn to appreciate the moments of joy and happiness that you have. Everything is a blessing, and is better than not feeling anything or being permanently numb. Life would be pretty damn pointless and meaningless if it didn’t had an end.

Some exceptions to this Amor fati thing of course, like randomly being kidnapped and tortured to death. Hard to find the good thing on that scenario lol
"The flowers bloom, then wither... The stars shine and one day become extinct. This earth, the sun, the galaxies and even the big universe, someday will be destroyed. Compared with that, the human life is only a blink, just a little time. In that short time - people are born, laugh, cry, fight, are injured, feel joy, sadness, hate someone, love someone. All in just a moment. And then, are embraced by the eternal sleep called death."
