Nihilism: the poison of our society

Many people believe that humanity is on the way of developing rapidly in every sector whether it is about medicine, science or any area of our modern life and they are partly right. There are many areas in life which that go with the time and as the time goes on, science also develops. Huge architectural wonders are built and - in good case - wise men, friends and you also try to take care about of your own and other's health, life and soul. In spite of these emerging developments, another direction of mentality is rising and creating destructive behaviour among people. Ladies and gents, this is the widespread life philosophy called nihilism.

Nihilists are in trouble how to tell the main points of their philosophy as it is not a strictly defined term. The general definition can be that nihilism denies all social values, norms, rules, laws and ethical requirements and advertises the idleness of existence, the lack of human progress and action. People's approach can be found in connection with political opinions and ethical norms. I would not tell more about the scientific point of view of nihilism, because it is on the Internet and the main points are have already been written above.

Why would a nihilist think that every action and life are meaningless and make no sense?

1. Many people cannot improve their lives and make the same mistakes over and over again. They do not learn from their failures or do not have the strength and the will power to change; moreover, and nihilists can only see this part of personality traits


2. Disappointment in people, in the system, in love and in everything they can imagine.


3. They also never try to make things better as they think that every kind of action, which is for a better future, is a failure. Even if they tried to do something, the person’s action would probably end up in a pathetic mood and it completely justifies their philosophy: nothing matters in life


4. Past, present and future do not exist for them; there are no thoughts in their mind, they do nothing all the time except eating, sleeping and thinking about the worthlessness of living on the Earth


5. Rational and progressive ideas about their lives are just dreams, which they think, has no worth to achieve is worthless

However, each of the written line above has its own opposite:


1. Every human is constantly on the way of learning. It can be a long process and the attempt for success may keep you waiting, but do not give up because it is the only way to reach something in life. And also live so that you know you could  do it and do not give up without fight for what you wanted to get. This is the optimistic mentality, which is missing from someone's mind.


2. Disappointmentcan always appear in your life, however, you should learn how to forgive people and go on. Not everyone causes sorrow and makes you feel that each of the person around the world will hurt you in some way.


3. Even if not everything matters in life; yet, most of the affairs happen with us count in the development of our personality. This means that everything matters what you do.


4. If past did not exist, you would not be here in front of the computer, reading this article and thinking about what I want to tell - sorry, to write - to you. You would not  be born and history classes would not make any sense because the teacher would not have anything to talk about. If present would was just a fantasy, we all would sit in a huge black hole of something I cannot explain; but probably, it would be like floating in space far away from the stars. The future is still a big question for me, but I think I am not alone in this situation


5. Create dreams in order to have something to achieve and live your life as you always wanted to. If you think forward, you will see that aims in life are not just dreams

In conclusion, I admit that many people do not pay attention to make things better and this is a serious problem. But the main question is that why do nihilists or you strengthen those who just sit and wait for a miracle? If you do not live your life and try not to understand or learn new things  thus, let your days, years fly away, you are part of this powerless and degenerated group.
