“Life is like being thrown into a test you weren’t aware you were going to take And nihilism is the understanding that you don’t have to answer these questions nor feeling the need to answer them”

Honestly nihilism made me realize I don't have depression, rather I'm continously aware of how much meaning we add to meaningless things.

Nihilism is cool, but it doesn’t inherently make someone sad, depressed or chaotically dysfunctional. Nihilism is strictly a thought process to no end which considers the idea that we are what we are and that nothing can be done to make that statement anymore intrusive or intriguing. Being nihilistic doesn’t make me the bearer of bad news or the least fun person to talk to, it simply means I exist.

There's no deep meaning for the existence of ants, roaches, flies, deer. We're no different. Survive and reproduce is the only goal of any living organism. A meaningless existence can be pretty liberating when you get rid of the need to feel important

To laugh while falling is much better than to scream in despair.

Nihilism is not so much a lack of belief, but a rejection of meaning. It's not "what's the point", it's "why does there need to be a point?". It's not a declaration life is meaningless, it's a declaration that any meaning is and must be self imposed. It's also the idea that nothing will save us or you. We are alone, and if we don't help each other survive this world together, we will likely die trapped on it together, as devoid of meaning as when we arrived.

We exist. We're not given a choice. There's something unsettling about that.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

It all comes down to perspective. A nihilist may lose hope in life or they may find meaning in the meaningless. There is no right interpretation of life

In my eyes nihilism means that nothing matters, in that lies true freedom to do whatever the soul pleases, leaving no room for anxiety or thoughts of failure.

If you don't believe in anything, you're always open to everything. When you're open to everything, every thing opens up to you.
