I am an Optimistic Nihilist

I have heard of all types of terms to describe human beings. But none ever seemed to describe me. I'm a bit of an anarchist, a bit of a libertarian, a bit of a socialist, a bit of a rationalist, but never quite one term. Today, I happened to watch a wonderful video by Kurzgesagt. This is the first time when I've been able to relate entirely to some such term. 

I am irrelevant and my life is completely meaningless. So is yours and every living and non living being to have ever existed or will ever exist. But all that means is I can't take myself or anyone else seriously, at all. All I can do is accept that I'm irrelevant, and enjoy the little time I have here in the only way I know how, and share it with people I care about. 

Do watch this wonderful dose of armchair philosophy and share your thoughts if you relate to any of this. I'd like to think I'm not the only optimistic nihilist on Steem :)
