Eternal recurrence


Some thoughts...Eternal recurrence. What if everything that is suppose to happen have already happened. Future and past are actually just present, but it is in different layer. All events occurred infinite times. Then does it mean our free will is fake or is it a test of time for human to transcend from normal beings to overman, as Nietzche wrote. Break the circle to become overman or stay in circle and lead predetermined life that's all event have already happened. Just like the underground man said,it seems attempt to prove our free will will lead us to become deranged human beings... But why does it matter if everything that is suppose to happen have already happened... If eternal recurrence is true and everything has already happened, what is the point of doing something, it is already done... But our limited human body in this limited time, in this limited space, desire to be in the eternity, that we will never be and desire things more and more. Simple human nature drives us and keeps us living on and on, infinite desires, goals... Some fulfilled , some crushed... Again and again in this recurring circle... Some are born into sweet delight and some are born into endless night, as William Blake wrote, again and again? Or do events have chance of changing its state everytime when it recur? Slight chance of that can give meanings... But if not then enjoy the present that consists of past and future...
