“Nihilism conditions us to actualize ourselves. It denies nothing of the inherent meaning to existence, and does not create a false "objective" reality based on our perceptions of what we wish did exist. Instead, it charges us to choose what we wish existed, and to work toward making it occur in reality.” RealityMeaningObjectivityNihilismHuman Perception Author:Brett Stevens
“{...], reality is painful, so people invent justifications and use them to supplant measurement of reality. We could use the old cliché of an ostrich hiding its head in the sand, but only if there's a television down there, dramatizing the sadness. It is an inversion of art: instead of singing the beautiful, we find praises for the ugly and disguise it as beauty, because we have lost belief in beauty. As good nihilists, we note that this loss of beauty is vested more in belief than in beauty. We have made beauty contingent upon so many moral justifications that it is socially taboo to note beauty without somehow tying it to the plight of the disadvantaged.” RealityBeautyMoralsRealismNihilismDisadvantaged Book:Nihilism: A Philosophy Based In Nothingness And Eternity Source: Nihilism: A Philosophy Based In Nothingness And Eternity
