Hello. I wanted to ask this:
Are you a nihilist? Does being a nihilist keep you from action?
Thanks in advance. Regards.

I don’t think I am, yet I hardly get enough done day to day…maybe it’s because of my thinking process and recently my (lovely interview) suddenly stopped. Seven years of (rehearsing) for my incoming doom…grrreat…
I can see why being a nihilism could keep someone from doing things. What would be the point?
I’m not as I do believe in traditional values of love, home, security and working for what you want.
I’m definitely NOT a nihilist. I would love to be thought of as someone passive and mellow. I try very hard for that.
But I get too wound up and too dramatic and I know I have step in and fix situations a specific way…
I think a touch of hyper activity and OCD keeps me from ever being a nihilist.

nihilism
noun
the rejection of all religious and moral principles, often in the belief that life is meaningless.
It is the bible that states life is meaningless though. Now thats odd. The bible is nihilistic! Ha!
“Meaningless! Meaningless! All is meaningless!” I think it even goes on to state that even wisdom is meaningless and does not help.
It’s just odd, life being meaningless is a religious principle. The definition of the word contradicts itself.
Im not a nihilist. I think rape is immoral so i can’t be a nihilist. It is the rejection of all moral principles so i can’t be a nihilist.
But this life being meaningless i most certainly agree with. It’s short and it’s painful and then you suffer to death, now thats meaningless!
Rape is a part of this life. If this life has no meaning then how can rape has any meaning?
It would be difficult to be total nihilistic. You would have to choose this for yourself and then learn to live by it. I have some nihilistic tendencies, but I do assign meaning to life. The general purpose of life is to enjoy it and ultimately procreate so the show goes on. I however see my life as rather pointless. Everyday I grow more upset with the temporary nature of pleasure and more disgusted with the level of stupidity it takes to be happy. I lay in bed last night wishing for cancer so that I might not have to live. The voices just never quit and there is no real tactic to combat them. In essence they win. They rob me of my will to live. Any case we are the way for the cosmos to know itself, eventually humanity will come upon technological abundance and sustainability. We will together become a godly force. For now there is poverty and war, but things are only getting cheaper. I wish there was a more active force in this engineering of our future. A place to apply myself, in stead though I have to get a mundane job helping people with bs, to me that is no way to live life. We should all be pushing for progress. Alas the world turns at its own pace. Im not a nihilist I believe I think to much. Though the nihilistic perspective is present.
yes…its a protest.
