Why not transcend life itself?
-
I am not opposed to this sentiment given more context; merely rephrasing one of Nietzsche's questions concerning life and affirmation.
-
It's a Yogic ascetic context, which explains the world-weariness. Yogic separation is preparation for infinite openness, lack of enclosure.

Understand. This is like the inspiration and then rejection of Schopenhauer for Nietzsche.
-
I can imagine them as two phases of a single life, first bounded vitalism (Nietzsche) then unbounded death (Schopenhauer), or the reverse.
-
True. I think Nietzsche rejects what becomes known as Schopenhauer's pessimism, veering toward nihilism. Nihilism must be confronted -> open
