=========================== //Nihilism// Nihilism is defined as the philisophical position where values do not exist. There are five major points to this ideology and i do not agree with any of them. I will speak about the two i disagree with most.

1. __Existential Nihilism__ This form of Nihilism is defined as life is without meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value. I personally believe that we all have a purpose, wether we choose to follow that purpose is up to us. I also believe there are many different paths one can take, again though we choose our own destiny. Life has to have meaning, it wouldn't make sense if it were all for nothing. What about religions and life philosophies? If life had no meaning, then what would be the purpose of these?

2. __Moral Nihilists__ This second form Nihilism is defined as morality is non-existant. This, again, makes no sense and does not seem to have any educated evidence to back up this ideology. Oviously morality exists. If morality did not exist, then are world would much more dangerous than it already is. Althoug i do not believe everyone has morality, think of serial killers, they don't care if someone dies and they are unaffected from it and able to sleep at night. If someone with morality were to accidently kill someone they would be effected consciously. It has been proven that psychopathic minds lack certain portions of the brain, most likely the part of the brain human morals are in.
