I think the idea is that the more you live your life to the fullest, the more you would embrace the eternal return - just my impression from the article -i certainly don't know much about Nietzsche:)

No, he means that in order for you to know that you are doing the best you can with your life, you can pretend that you will live the same life over and over again for eternity. If you would accept the eternal return, you know your are doing the best with your life; living it as well as you can
If not, you should question how you live, and try harder to live a life worth living
This is a thought-experiment

Yeah.. it struck me that it's a bit strange to read a philosophical article telling us how to Hate :)
Also, i think it's worth mentioning that at least Johnny Depp seems to have been thoroughly exonerated in his trial, and that the offender instead was the woman
