If there is an objective meaning to life, morality, or even existence: we cannot know it as subjective beings. And what is objectivity to begin with? As far as i can be aware: this is all my delusion. I can only define things for myself... and since i can define them in any way at all: it follows that anything can be defined in any way, thus the definition for anything is entirely based upon the subjective viewpoint of the definer... and thus there is no meaning without a definer (existentialism). Because there is no meaning without a definer (which is subjective): there is no objective meaning for anything (nihilism).
So my nihilism and existentialism are because of my subjectivism.
Actually, i wonder if one can possibly be an existentialist without being a nihilist, or vise versa :S I can't see how they don't logically follow from one another... and i can't see how agnosticism doesn't logically lead to subjectivism... and how that doesn't logically lead to existentialism and nihilism. :S <--would like to discuss :S
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
