I’m a one-hate one-love machine. I can’t hate multiple people at the same time. My heart just gets confused if I try, and then starts flirting with nihilism.

Embrace nihilism full on, and start flirting with absurdism.

Depends what you mean by adding nothing.

I think nihilism is a pretty concrete position to be in. 2 billion years from now, nothing we’ve done will matter or likely be remembered. On a cosmological scale, that makes our lives pretty pointless. Thats nihilism.

Nihilism doesn’t have to be bad, though. In fact, there’s no good or bad in that statement. Just “will matter” and “won’t matter”. Absurdism is embracing the fact that nothing matters, and doing anyway. Why? Who knows. It tends to be how people stay happy. Do because if you don’t, well… that’s pretty much it isn’t it?
