Being a person in this world I'm am confused about how one could have everything and be upset. But in reality to have everything you must have the worst too. I recently have been researching nihilism and I have related since I was very young around 5 or 6 I've always know that the only certain thing is death and wondered why we must live by an unspoken law that stops us from being happy during our time in earth. I never understood how people find God to be more reliable then themselves when we are taught that for things to be credible you must know they exist. If I have known that nothing matters why the hell do I care so much. The people that act like they don't care what people think, know they are lying. So don't feel bad if you put in effort. Humans must care about unimportant things to have a will to live. It gives us a meaning even though the meaning is imaginary. It is a comfort. A blanket sheilding ones eyes from a horror film.
