Paganism is a form of thanking and affirming life? [Nietzsche]
     Full Idea: Is the pagan cult not a form of thanking and affirming life?
     From: Friedrich Nietzsche (Writings from Late Notebooks [1887], 14[89])
     A reaction: Yes, but it also centres on worries about life, such as potential famine and natural disasters. It is rooted as much in the negative of fear as in the positive of gratitude and appreciation.
