Does anyone read about Nihilism?

[functionalnausea]

Do you think life has purpose or meaning?

Why were we born or even continue living?

Do you thing nothing matters in the end?

And so on

Have you pondered about the meaning and matter of life?

Personally, I agree with Camus, nothing really matters so I do not give shii about stuff that much and just live to find happiness each day, but when I encountered any inconvenience whether big or small, the suicidal thought always pop up in my head because my think

Wbt you guys

To me None of the things that they constantly tell us are so good, important, worth it , must do , must have , matter .... None of these things really do matter. Nothing matters

What that we could do this year will matter in 150 years? Nothing.what about in 500 years? In 10,000 years. In a trillion years? Nothing

The only things that are significant to me are me avoiding constant excruciating unbearable pain extreme suffering extreme torture. And then me avoiding any pain , suffering , problems, diseases . My suicide asap is important to me

They can say life and living are important or needed

But why do I have to live another minute? I don't have to there is no reason

Meaning, purpose, and value are constructs of human consciousness. There's no evidence that the universe "cares" about justice, beauty, happiness, or suffering. We invent meaning to navigate life, but fundamentally, these are subjective and impermanent.

Nothing truly matter when all life on this planet could be wiped out at any time

Do you make a sound if nobody hears you?

meaning is created by you. there is no over arching meaning to life.

i'd guess that all the users on this site are just at a point where they dont see their lives being capable of having any meaning. which causes suffering.

I am into nihilism, yes. It honestly is the only thing that still makes sense to me on this fucked up planet.

ב''ה,
Not a huge fan but as opposed to the Coens' chuckles about the schoolyard version ("they're nihilists, Donny!"), what Nietzsche was actually on about was a sort of Eastern C_____ian gnosticism, that one has the option to do the right thing for various reasons even though the message of those "religions" proper is technically just keep fucking up it'll bring on Apocalypse 'and maybe that's what G-d wants for every foreign invader fucking up Israel.'

This is how that tradition generally in most flavors manages to preserve some stuff like 'maybe murder actually is bad' despite believing it's instantly forgiven.

Anyway, that's one a lot of the European 'great thinkers' have reckoned with, while Torah is just kind of explicit but also may make adultery a capital offense (rabbis sorted this out by requiring witnesses, making G-d a bit kind on it), but if you're gonna say you like nihilism, at least check out the primary source, as is less even the inspired frenchmens' "nothing matters what now" than the gnostic "G-d doesn't obviously immediately intervene on all wrongs in the world, what now?" that Nietzsche was probing.

I only really had the opportunity to give it a skim, but as with Marxism, getting past the schoolyard version to the substance will at least give the actual meaning of the concept.

Nietzsche's references also go into the historical thing about how Rome and the 'early church' as were the same thing mashed Jewish and Persian dualist traditions together to get the church dualism story where G-d completely gave the 'bad guy' agency instead of it being a tulpa sort of thing G-d was playing with. As wacky as Judaism is it's kind of relaxing (just worry about G-d) compared to the church worldview that G-d stuck everyone with a sort of dualism until the world ends.

The value or worth of life is a personal feeling I think. People who find great worth in composing music, caring for others, researching an ancient culture aren't wrong. Is it 'wrong' to enjoy strawberry ice cream? No- it's about preference. We surely value things we like. It's not wrong to like things. There again, someone is within their rights to say they hate everything and find everything meaningless and worthless. I don't think there's a consensus over it- no right or wrong answer. It's more what a person feels and believes.

Overall though, no- I don't believe there's a grand plan to this. I think we came about via and are subject to a bunch of natural laws until we die.

Not something I think about to much when I'm suicidal.
