Hopefully, this will help underdeveloped nihilists appreciate life a little bit more...
There is no meaning or purpose for life and existence. Why do we bother getting out of bed in the morning? None of it matters if we are all going to die, and cease to exist for an eternity of nothingness.
That is a logical line of thought on the topic of meaninglessness. However, this is an unproductive place to conclude your thoughts on the matter, and will only lead to depression or lack of ambition.
Please consider this: In the end, we are only human. You can think about our significance, purpose, and meaning, or lack thereof, all you want. But in the end, all we want is to live a happy life. So, as difficult as it may seem, the only way to find meaning in life is to create your own—and for you, that will be enough. It’s faith, and it is original to us all. Create your own and follow it always, and you will live a happy life. Yes, some day you will die. When that day comes, everything you ever said or did or thought may become meaningless again, for as you cease to exist, reality may do the same (depending on your beliefs). That is why we need to live in the moment. Life is a never-ending quest for meaning. And for those unfortunate souls who are intellectually adept enough to question their place and meaning in the world, yet not wise enough to understand this bittersweet philosophy on their own, the result is often tragic.
