RE: Dealing with existential nihilism
March 31, 2017 at 8:44 pm
I believe the meaning of life lies on the temporal happiness we enjoy. Which makes things such as memories, love, family, friends, goals, etc., painful to remember with time.

I just dont want to have a long, painful death. Nor do I want to become those old men in an asylum who dont look aware of anything. Or get Alzheimer´s disease.

What makes me sad is that I will not be able to see the future, nor the completion of my work/legacy. And that once the people you love die, they are gone forever. I guess I simply have to accept it.
