Nihilism is the belief that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated. It is often associated with extreme pessimism and a radical skepticism. (Rose,1994)

For all of the readers, I will explain my side and how I understood this theory.
Nihilism is more like contemplating on situations and everything that happens on our surroundings, differentiating what is real from what is not from the "nothing" that we understood. We can create our own perception of a "world" if we "think" of it.

Most of us think about what will happen after a few years from now. This is natural to us because we tend to create an assurance that we are not wasting time just to be a good-for-nothing bum afterwards. But can we stop, take a deep breath and close our eyes for a short period of time.   We sleep with our eyes closed, but are we not living with our eyes closed?

Try it.
Close your eyes while talking to someone, It is immediate that they will be disrespected by your action.

This is why sometimes I am quiet and I like to be alone. Because my mind is clouded with all the sh*t happening everywhere, I like to think deep and close my eyes. Most of us have a certain religion and follow dogmas made by our fellow men 3:) but can't we remember Buddha who spent most of his life contemplating? And let's not forget the Son of Man Jesus Christ who spent 40 days away from anything and made time contemplating about himself?

And as we grow old, we encounter a lot of people that makes us realize a lot of things, making us followers of a certain idea. But for me, truth doesn't exist. The truth is our perception of what does exist; our assessment of it. We would have to find the truth that is appropriate to our lives. We do not exist separately from this world and we cannot escape this state. Furthermore, there's no point. Pursue truth as it is evident to you.

The single most powerful weapon we have is our own preference. People can force all sorts of sh*t on me, but they can't make me accept certain things except as necessary. And this will make living in this world will be very hard for me because the way I think is really disturbing for other people. ^_^
