Nihilism

[s***@gmail.com]

Much has been written about nihilism, most because for any great good
in life, one needs an opposite, and that is the belief in nothing: that
nothing is worth striving for, that nothing can have any meaning, that
the individual and the world together are nothing. I refer to this as
fatalism because, quite honestly, if one believes that little - not
even in the pleasures of being alive, the basest of joys - then death
is a gift and a deliverance. If your fate is so terrible, embrace it,
and die well. Perhaps you can bestir yourself long enough to strap an
explosive device onto your person and, running into some commercial
orgy such as a mall during Christmas shopping, detonate yourself,
clearing others of a subtler fatalism from amongst us.

Not a very effective way of getting suicide bombing done. Much
better to threaten to kill your family. daveA
