As stated in your other thread that asks the same question:

Titties.

You'll die eventually anyways and everything indicates there is nothing after we die.

We experience an incredibly tiny slice of time and there is zero reason not to find something to appreciate and work towards no matter how bad it gets.

Like, even if we die and it ends up just being us taking off the headset of an Nintendo 2048, you started this game for a reason, play till the end. But most likely this is all we get, so don't waste it.

Why aren't you on oxycodone? Ever fucked a prostitute on heroin and method?

The endgame in nihilism is readily available and you are fucking missing out trying your own little "thing".

Give me one counter argument.

To make a positive change in every encounter you have. Kaizen the fuck out of your mission to make the world a better place by day-to-day interactions

Art (broadly defined) and sex.

You need to decide that for yourself.

Nothing. I keep thinking back to a quote I read on reddit about the people who leapt from windows on 9/11. We dont condemn them for jumping out of a burning building, because we can see the flames and that they only had two terrible choices.

My life is in flames, the world is getting worse everyday, and continuing to exist only promises more pain and suffering. Why go on?

To stick it to those that try to bring you down. Don't give them the satisfaction.

My family mostly, but I have a lot of plans to do good in this world that I can't yet do. That, and fun recreational stuff like video games and personal projects.
