Nihilism is not necessarily pessimistic and negative, though that conclusion is understandable when drawn by those whom have never successfully questioned their own convictions. After careful scrutiny, one will discover that there is no objective meaning to anything in the universe, except what we choose to give it. A nihilist is free to experience oneself and the universe clearly, while determining for themselves what purpose, importance, meaning, priority, passion, value and morality ought to be ascribed to life's little puzzle pieces. Such enquiry requires facing horrors and uncertainties, which means accepting that uncomfortable realities must be confronted instead of avoided. To a nihilist, the answers are never resolved, and questions always beget endless, inconclusive lines of inquiry.
