      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.

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