Journal pyrrho's Journal: Beyond Good And Evil: aphorism 9 1
Nietzsche talks about the Stoics. They do not really want to live by nature, but instead want to do what "still happens today, too, as soon as any philosophy begins to believe in itself. It always creates the world in it's own image."
I take a couple things from this. Firstly, knowing both about stoicism and about "stoic" personalities, I think Nietzsche is arguing that nature is not something to be sternly endured.
But mainly, remember this: philosophy is programming for the mind. You construct a worldview, it's an operational construct that interprets the world as being some way. Nietzsche is saying the same thing in a more poetic way.

It's also that I have a reply.
But it's just me.
And it's off topic.
