nihilism in quotes because i might not be truly be a nihilist according to strict definitions of when scrutinized by philosophy students
but the wonders of it are,
genuine loss of envy (not all the time of course)
sleeping sound and feeling no moral fault for envying when i do (and this is a good thing)
not having to deal with whether i'm being a hypocrite when i envy and then reflect and suppress or release my envy
selective hearing or accepting of information
not trying to live or find "ideals" like justice, being able to take sides
not having to take a side
gaining the ability to love, because i choose my definition of love. being allowed to hate.
feelings of "peace", and allowing delusion if the ends is worth it.
and the means don't have to justify the ends.
not having to adhere to what a "nihilist" "should" be

an absurd world.
Let's see what is bullshit.
Al Gore.
The Nobel Prize.
The "Nobel" Prize in Economics.
Theology.
Linguistics on Language Acquisition.
Economics.
United Nations.
Still a white's man world. Why should we look up to Nobel Prizes. They are set up by the West and they have been given to advocates of Western ideals. Dalai Lama was awarded a peace prize. Why? Al Gore. Why? Definitely I can find reasons why they SHOULD get it. But are they the reasons why they were awarded it? Why do some Indians care that Gandhi did not get the Nobel Prize? Do Asians still have a colonial mindset where they need the approval of the white man? Many know that the Nobel Prize in Economics wasn't originally set up by Alfred Nobel. It was added many decades later under a different name but tried to associate itself closely with the Nobel, eventually becoming one of them. But the Nobel itself is not an approval by the world or of a God if any. It is given by a committee. Do the committee members have personal and political agendas?
The United Nations have enough bashers. Have they done any good? I believe so. But are they an absolute authority? Of course not. Participating in the sterilization of women without their knowing? Definitely humane.
Theology almost sounds like an oxymoron. Modern Christianity is like the superstitions they go about debunking. Of course, that doesn't say anything about whether Christianity is wrong or right.

dostoevsky hits the spot, only on my second read. at 23 years old. gosh. didn't understand a thing the first time when i was what...19? and college students in the US are 19 at the start. they are way smarter than i am. or maybe it's just the times. maybe now is the time to read it cos of the ideas floating in my nearby society. i guess most knowledge is experience. u can't just learn them. they will be empty.
quotes:
...he solemnly declared in argument that there was nothing in the whole world to make men love their neighbours. That there was no law of nature than man should love mankind, and that, if there had been any love on earth hihero, it was not owing to a naural law, but simply because men have believed in immortality. Ivan Fyodorovitch added in arenthesis that the whole natural law lies in that faith, and that if you to destroy in mankind the belief in immortality, not only love but every living force maintaining the life of the world would at once be dried up. Moreover, nothing then would be immoral, everything would be lawful, even cannilalism. Thats not all. He ended by asserting that for every individual, like ourselves, who does not believe in God or immortality, the moral law of nature must immediately be changed into the exact contrary of the former religious law, and that egoism, even to crime, must become, not only lawful but even recognised as the inevitable, the most rational, even honourable outcome of his position.
...the more I love humanity in general, te less I love man in particular. In my dreams, I have often come to making enthusiastic schemes for the service of humanity, and perhaps I might actually have faced crucifixion if it had been suddenly necessary; and yet I am incapable of living in the same room with any one for two days together, as I know by experince. As soon as any one is near me, his personality disturbs my self complacency and restricts my freedom...But it has always happened that the more I detest men individually the more ardent becomes my love fo humanity.
