    Hey I care about my quest in life.

    I just understand people are right where they need to be in their own Spiritual development.

    I cannot change the word. I am just a nut living in the jungle.

    The world and people will change...when they are ready.

    I am here for my own Spiritual growth. I allow the world and others that some luxury.

    Could you imagine a society full of nihilists though?

    Fucking thing would suck.

    "Hey man, I'm tired of walking. Lets make a machine that will help us by carrying us and others around"

    "Fuck it bro, we're all going to die anyway... whats the point."

    Um, I doubt that nihilists who are firm in their beliefs are the type of people who constantly announce that they don't give a fuck.

    I imagine I am not a nihilist.

    To be honest I had no clue what it was when I posted.

    Perhaps I will think at looking into what it is more.

    Damn I am going to have to learn something on RT.

    My brain hurts now.

    No one cares about your opinion, we're all gonna die anyway. But could we see some new pics of your ass before we go?

    There. Nihilism with a glimmer of hope. Bet you weren't expecting that...

    People who don't give a shit about anything are not people I care to be around.
    I prefer when humans like things or don't like things. They are so much more interesting and functional.

    nihilism doesn't alleviate responsibility except from the abstract concepts of soul or self. if a nihilist talks about self i'd like to hear her talk about something concrete, passionate and creative.

    I don't know what Nihilism exactly is , but living without caring about anything makes life pointless.
    It wouldn't give you true happiness either, just an illusion of it.

    Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position that argues that existence is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value. Nihilists generally assert that objective morality does not exist, so subsequently there is no objective moral value with which to uphold a rule or to logically prefer one action over another. Nihilists who argue that there is no objective morality may claim that existence has no intrinsic higher meaning or goal. There is no reasonable proof or argument for the existence of a higher ruler or creator, or posit that even if higher rulers or creators exist, humanity has no moral obligation to worship them. There are no known sources that disprove the above claim.


    The term nihilism is sometimes used synonymously with anomie to denote a general mood of despair at the pointlessness of existence.

    I imagine a lot of people turn into nihilists as they grow older... like the 'grumpy old man' whose wife died and all of the sudden is treated differently in society because now he's old.

    i think my grandpa is a nihilist.

    Well it must be easier to be a nihilist when you're older than younger, when you're young you've still got the rest of your life to go, as you get older you might get bored or whatever.
