Can someone explain amor fati to me?

Does it just mean love who you presently are? That seems a bit bourgeois to me. Does it mean that there's no explanation for why anything happens? Again, that seems a bit wrong, to say it's all senseless.

Is it a state of mind and/or a way of acting, and if so how is it cultivated etc.?

Don’t demand that things happen as you wish, but wish that they happen as they do happen, and you will go on well — Epictetus

quite helpful in a way "want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things; then I shall be one of those who makes things beautiful." @MauroALLEGRANZA thanks
