RE: Dealing with existential nihilism

I believe the universe is consumed by conflict. This includes humanity. Everything positive we have created exists thanks to our conflict within ourselves and against the exterior. This means, then, that striving to be happy is completely acceptable and makes sense, even within the rules of the universe.

There are only 2 possible results for the universe: 1. You had a miserable life. 2. You had a decent life. Pick what you want. Your existence will become an inherent characteristica of the universe, even after you died, even if nobody remembers it. Struggling to be happy as much as we can is the logical path we should take.
