If I just happen to hurt people, especially those I love, real hard, why shouldn’t I just kill myself then?

    And there’s also existentialism that basically says that we have the ability and the need to create our own meaning and value in life.

    A small dose of existentialism or nihilism has certainly helped me get through hard times, because both make me realize that the meaning of life is totally subjective. We all have the potential to decide what value life has and whether it has meaning or not.

    In any case, I find that it’s enough to simply exist and survive through hard times, but life is better if I’m doing something that makes me happy. Its never too late to change yourself and start doing things that are less hurtful to yourself and others. In fact, today is a great day to turn things around.
