Discussion nihilism - ode’s thoughts

[nihilisticmystics]

~ for those that don't know what nihilism is, it's basically the belief/philosophy/conclusion that nothing matters in life and existence is pointless and doesn't matter. nothing matters. ~

there is no point to life or existence. work, relationships, money, school, friends. none of this matters because we will all die and be forgotten and replaced and any friends, jobs, houses, cars, relationships we might've had will be gone and forgotten. there is no point to any of this, we are all slaves in a system that WE set up. we were not made to work and yet here we are, in a system completely set up and ran by us. money is made up. jobs are made up. everything is made up and everyone has been so brainwashed that if you try to bring any of this up, they will think you are either: lazy and not wanting to work, or crazy. or both.

i've tried to explain how i feel to others before in the past. i don't want to work because there is no point, i don't want to make money or pay rent because there is no point. i get the same replies every time; "you're just lazy. this is life. you need to work to survive. get used to it."

why does nobody question this? we are slaves living in a cycle. i feel alone being hyperaware of all of this, why is nobody waking up? but to be honest, i don't really care. they can continue to slave away and live their stupid lives like this.

normally, i'm an existential nihilist. which is the basic idea of nihilism that nothing- the universe, life, existence-, doesn't matter and has no meaning.

but recently i have developed pessimistic nihilism, which is basically i'm depressed BECAUSE i see that there is no meaning or purpose. it's so draining, and i can't get better because i am at the point where even if i get a job, get friends, do everything i'm "supposed" to do, it will always be on my mind that it doesn't matter. i'm too far gone into nihilism, i will never be satisfied or fulfilled with my life.

i'm also extremely misanthropic, which doesn't help at all. but i don't really care that it doesn't help. do you see what i mean?

but yeah. nothing matters and we will all die. existence is stupid and pointless

Have you looked into nietzche phylosophy,?
I heard he was all about overcoming nihilism

There's also Albert camus essay on sysaphus, "One must imagine it happy"

There is no peace,but that is no reason to stop moving forward, I thought :3

Have a nice day

 

[TheEmptyVoid]

I'm also depressed because I see no meaning in life or any purpose.

i mean the truth is:

nothing matters

only you can assign purpose to anything, and if you choose to ctb, you have officially decided there is no longer assigned purpose to anything for you.

its as simple as that. mans search for meaning, a book written by a holocaust survivor, basically goes over this.

I was going to quote Camus; I think his answer is the best. He kind of says something like: I don't care about meaninglessness. He has the lucidity to accept the meaninglessness of the world, but he rebels against it, finding happiness despite it.
However, like all philosophy, putting it into practice isn't so easy.

Sorry, Camus, I just can't imagine Sisyphus happy.

It's hard,I understand camus but never fully got on board with it, I don't care about meaningless but this sort of stuff never bothered me to begin with,it feels useless to think about it

I think the reason I am here,depressed is because of self hate,and some would argue that any hate is self-hate ,life may be meaningless, but it's not upon me to make that decision for others

But yeah,life sucks ass tbh

Pessimistic nihilism, my friend

Yes yes

I think big part that is left and maybe something i could only notice now,is how impactful emotions are,camus reason for surviving was is wife,which he deeply love, emotions together with mind can make miracles

A purpose without heart is cold and never lasts too long, I think
