As we witness and experience this human condition called Life, we are presented with an irrational world, and human's search begins for order and certainty, and value and purpose, amidst the chaos that leads to a certain oblivion. It's ludicrous!


"Though nihilism has been relentlessly criticized for overemphasizing the dark side of human experience, it might be equally true that this overemphasis represents a needed counterbalance to shallow optimism and arrogant confidence in human power. Nihilism reminds us that we are not gods and that despite all of the accomplishments and wonders of civilization, humans cannot alter the fact that they possess only a finite amount of mastery and control over their own destinies."
