Optimistic Nihilism: nothing matters, but it’s ok

If nothing matters and we’re all just specks of dust floating through space and time, what’s the point in trying at all? Building healthy relationships with friends and family doesn’t seem worth it because, in the end, everyone you know will die anyway. All attempts at self-improvement are futile because, in the Universe’s grand plan, none of it matters. Even if you’re not all doom and gloom, there’ll be days when getting out of bed will seem pointless. Where life itself will seem kind of pointless. And the current state of the world, with issues like the climate crisis, the rise in extreme politics, and economic instability, doesn’t help our psychological state.
