I recommend everyone to read Frederick Dolan's answer to this question https://www.quora.com/What-did-Nietzsche-mean-when-he-said-if-you-stare-into-the-abyss-the-abyss-stares-back-at-you This is the main point that striked my mind but you won't get much from it unless you read the whole thing: "The healthiest human being, Nietzsche thinks, is one whose sheer love of life is so powerful that he or she enthusiastically desires the eternal repetition of everything that has happened and will happen – good, bad, and evil. Such a person affirms life without qualification, absolutely." - Frederick Dolan If one wants to fully embrace life and to love life, he needs to accept both good and bad and love both while wanting to eternally repeat life no matter what is happening in life. You can't deny parts of life and love life to the fullest. That isn't total love.
