Man is a tightrope between ape and overman (Nietzsche). I do however worry that your quote above may indicate an exhaustion toward life.

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
