Eternal return (also known as "eternal recurrence") is a concept which posits that the universe has been recurring, and will continue to recur in the exact same self-similar form an incomprehensible and infathomable number of times. The concept has roots in ancient Egypt, and was subsequently taken up by the Pythagoreans and Stoics. With the decline of antiquity and the spread of Christianity, the concept fell into disuse, though Fredrich Nietzsche briefly resurrected it.

it does not have null to that to see with the idea that of it they had the Greeks. For which the eternal return is the God inside of which becoming is developed. Instead in Nietzsche the speech it is turned upside down. Just because not there is no God, becoming must be impossessamento of the past. Every action of going ahead is to return behind. That it is possible single if exists the figure of the circle

If this is true, that would explain why we are always at war.

Can't you write something original in your own words? Why do you need to steal the words of someone else and copy and paste it here? Even if it is from wikipedia, you should really use your own words, and if you can't then you need to quote what your copy and pasted and then give the link to where you copied it from, instead of trying to pass it off as your own work. This snip of an article can be found on this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_return
