I tried so hard, I got so far but the end it doesn't even matters

So what Fredrick Nietzsche is saying people come to believe in God or a Higher Power because they can't find purpose or meaning in life on their own?

[daviviana]

i searched this just to understand if nihilism and the niheligo ultra beast had any connection

[Idellphany]

Being a human and supporting other humans is the way to go.

Overcoming Nihilism is the only way a culture can thrive. It’s very true, because if we see the futility of life how can we maintain it?

[mihabrilj]

How can this compeet with Creator of all worlds? And the objective morality he reveald that shows us clear guidance?
There is no competition.

So you chose nihilism as the meaning of your life? I am a nihilist in an idealism with meaning in being of an nihalist; activist in the meaning of the nihilism of the idealism. A nihalist deconstructs the idealism. In the everyday. Even at work, until nothing matter's for the nihilist. Its a philosophy of Existentialism. As a nihalist I must realize my responsibility for my actions, the condition, and the choice was mine? The essence of the idealism of the nihilist is not a metaphysic but existence as a totality.

So nihilism basically means even if you achieve your dreams, that doesn't matter

[JNB]

As an absurd nihilist (or a person who follows the philosophy of absurdism) I would actually take it a step forward and say nihilism implies not only has no objective meaning, but also subjective meaning as well. You cannot create it for yourself. I do recognize that the reason behind that could possibly stem from my bias towards positivism, but I digress. Although this comment alone will surely get me yelled at by my fellow existentialist nihilists.

ah what difference does it make nothing matters

Nihilism is the true of life, it cannot be solve, it was and it always will be the reality.

[legendofzoloxolo]

This is a great philosophy for a robot with no soul

[romarioballoon]

Just realised that this is me! Nihilist me!

[Aisakusainn]

Nihilism makes people become hopeless, arrogant, depressed and suicidal.

God is the Highest and in times of fear, it is Him who we innately ask help to.
