    Dear trans kids - This world isn’t better with anybody in it. The world doesn’t care. You could be a green alien and the world would continue to rotate. Get with the program. Everyone will die one day and everything will continue like nothing happened the next.

    None of us matter. Have fun, do whatever you fucking feel like.

        I am many things. People label me with many different words. Nihilist is one that certainly fits at certain points in life. Misanthrope is another. Life is the closest thing to heaven that any of us will ever reach, and not enough people realize that. But also - we’re not the protagonist even in our own story. The universe is so big, and our lives so short. We’re lucky enough to live here and now, where we have the understanding of the universe at our fingertips, and people are too busy worrying “inward”.

        People need to stop worrying about what box they want to label themselves with, and forget all this bullshit. Stop being “Conservative” or “Liberal” or “Man” or “Woman” and drop the labels. Just fucking be you, just do you, and be righteous to one another. This shit is all a sham (all of it) designed to keep you angry at the wrong people.

          While I do not accept misanthropy as a worldview or a philosophy, and you are a wrong to believe there is not a greater paradise that surpasses all human imagination or comprehension, I do somewhat agree with your broader point, but I also hear emotions clouding objective analysis. But I strongly agree that all people need to get outside of themself.

          You will be dead a lot longer than you were ever alive. If someone spends everyday avoiding death, they will never live, never find life.

            You will always have emotions. You should probably at least acknowledge them when making choices as they’re deep seated alarm bells in your body.

                What you are describing is willful denial. Yes, I know you don’t (and are not able to) see it that way. That’s how it works.

                  It could be willful denial, but I’m reading it more as someone with a poor and incomplete understanding of emotional detachment, the times and reasons to use it, and the life shatteringly bad stuff that happens to your brain if you use it as a primary coping skill.

        Is realist an nihilist all that much different than a slightly different point of view of the same scenery?

          A nihilist is good with destruction and has no objection to physical violence including inflicting death.
