and . I don't know much about nihilism beyond basics so I looked up comparisons and found this amazing quote.

A nihilist will look at their life and say, "My existence has no purpose."

A Taoist will look at their life and say, "My existence IS my purpose."

From a Taoist's perspective, that is spot-on correct. Anyone out there a ? Does that quote ring true from your standpoint?

@patrickstewart @philosophy a nihilist is simply someone who rejects all theories of morality and religion. That does not mean that they believe their lives have no purpose - Nietzsche, the philosopher most associated with nihilism, spent great deals of time explaining how to avoid feeling as though your life has no purpose. His main replacement for following God’s will is to follow the passion of knowledge.

In short, no. My life has no purpose is what a depressed person says.
