Even as a Christian I think that is a pretty narrow characterization.  And almost no one is actually a nihlist even if they claim to be.  Most people don't even really understand nihlism.

Sure, they do.  It's pretty much like this:

"We believe in nothing, Lebowski!  Nothing!"

 

...isn't it?

I love that movie, one of my favorite lines is one that John Goodman says in the bowling alley.

Walter: "Nihilists! Fuck me. I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos."



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Oh, it's brilliant!  Just about every line in the film is quote-worthy.  "Dude, Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature.  Asian-American, please."

Good to hear that things are getting better! Hopefully you two are meant for eachother.

 

What I meant, though, is that there are elements of a person's past that can cause them to react a certain way to situations. For my ex, she had issues with her father leaving her, making her feel unimportant and vulnerable. There were times where I wouldn't be feeling very good and she'd misinterpret my sourness as an act like her father's. She clammed up and it took me days and even weeks to get her to open back up to me again.

 

I meant to simply remark that she might have issues like my ex's. She might not, though, so I could simply have misidentified it.

 

So, you even had the source of her problems and still parted ways? Do you think it was better than going through the storm?

And don't be ashamed to post, as you last emoticon tells :P, it's good to hear opinions.

 

Yeah, we still parted ways. Quite a bit of it was made worse by the fact that we both had busy schedules at college. We both agreed that we had neither the time nor energy to go through another stressful year. This had taken place last November, actually.

 

I have since graduated in May, and that was also one of the considerations for us. I was sure that my options for a career after graduation were slim without the aid of the Navy, so I didn't want to put her, a junior about to start her senior year, through the mess of me moving around the globe. Things would've gotten much, much worse if we were separated by distance.

 

I still care for her deeply, even one year after the fact. Unfortunate circumstances coupled with bad timing gave us some harsh memories, but I wouldn't trade them for the world.

I dunno if I have much to offer beyond what others have said.

but my thing is, whatever you decide to do. I would really really recommend that it be taken care of before moving forward. I think you said right now you two are on kind of a break. I think thats good.

In love, sometimes you gotta be patient. You say you love her, or feel love for her, so I am sure you are willing to be patient. What I'm saying is, try not to move forward too early. My wife and I have been through a hell of a lot in the past year, and there is no way we could have gotten through it, if we didn't knoe from the start that we loved each other and we were right for each other.

So, yeah. Just you knoe, take it easy, and move on when it feels right.

Love... hmmm... its actually IMO a way to deep thing to be able to discuss it here... does it exists? Yes, Im certain, but is it what we think it is? No... its not something spiritual, IMO its purely chemical... was I ever in ? Yes, once and its still exists in me, but I still havent experienced it enough to be able to write a documentary about it :P

Oh, i see. I think i would feel the same if we parted ways, and i don't think we need to break up just yet. Well, we'll see...

I'm really bad at being slow and taking it easy. Since i really don't believe time makes things better, i don't see a point in waiting. I just had to bend over this time :P

And i really must take care of it before moving. I will, i hope...

atheist, nihilistic, skeptic

are all terms that apply to people that haven't had a moment of whoa that cant be explained


love it real and it hurts just as much as it helps

that said the real test of a relationship is not if you fight or not, b/c it will happen and happen a lot, but that after the fights they are hard to remember and that you don’t care they happened

if you can say that you have reached this point go after it but that doesn’t mean she has and unless your willing to lock her in the basement you might have to move on…and I don’t recommend the basement thing its lots of work and not a lot of payoff

Even as a Christian I think that is a pretty narrow characterization.  And almost no one is actually a nihlist even if they claim to be.  Most people don't even really understand nihlism.

 

 

Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position that argues that existence is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value. Nihilists generally assert that objective morality does not exist, and that no action is logically preferable to any other in regard to the moral value of one action over another. Nihilists who argue that there is no objective morality may claim that existence has no intrinsic higher meaning or goal. They may also claim that there is no reasonable proof or argument for the existence of a higher ruler or creator, or posit that even if higher rulers or creators exist, humanity has no moral obligation to worship them.

 

From wikipedia. I think i fit this description

 

And sorry for the triple post, can someone tell me how to quote more than one person in a post?
