How It Feels To Be An Over-Achieving Nihilist

 When you hear the term Nihilist, you probably immediately think of The Joker. I reckon he is the ultimate Nihilist. I reckon he is the ultimate Nihilist. 

But is he really?

Maybe he's the one who's been lucky enough to have a spot as a villain in award-winning comics and an entire Movie Saga. However, there are good Nihilists; High-Functioning, productive members of society with Morbid, Nihilistic Tendencies. 

1. Meeting your High Standards justifies your life. Only for Today. Tomorrow, your start back at Point 0. 

2. Monotonous tasks don't kill your Spirit. They make you as High as a Kite. Sometimes. 

3. You are equally obsessed and deeply resentful of functioning in a Performance-Based Economy. 

4. Money is your biggest motivator and the most numbing part of your existence. 

5. You are materialistic, superficial and full of unbearable sorrow that only exists due to the way you think. As a Nihilist though, there's nothing you can do about it. Do you see where this is going?

6. You can't count the number of times you've planned the Perfect Date, Brunch with The Ladies, Movie Nights with Mom, only to have your Clinical Depression snatch it away at the very last minute. 

7. The idea of moving away to a remote village is more realistic than a steady career at Medium.

8. You could let dust bunnies eat up your couch if you stopped acting like Lady MacBeth. 

9. Every good story you have is about what you achieved and how you're still the most miserable person on planet earth. 

10. You could go on for weeks without talking to your family and friends if it was socially acceptable. 

You see, mainstream society seems to snub it's nose at spacing out of unnecessary conversations, family drama, and saying No to other people's Emotional Baggage. It's promoted as part and parcel of Family Matters. In reality, a Global Nihilistic Agenda hidden under the guise of "Family Values." 

Ironically, this is the same society that enables and promotes Divorce and the increasing opportunity for a single-parent households. But that's none of my business right? 

Despite all this, I am still a Conservative. Don't ask me Why. 

I have no Idea!

Quote of the Day

"I am always humbled by the fact that an asteroid could hit the planet at any time and wipe us free of all existential crises. It would absolve us of responsibilities and I find that very comforting."
