You Say Hate, I Say No

The concept of hatred is absurd to the materialist. The nature of all thing is the state in which they were to always eventually exist. The postulation of alternative outcomes and realities beyond purely theoretical and analytical context is absurd for alternate outcomes and realities could never have come to be in this universe as they are now. The soul-believer may argue alternates with the soul as a hinge, but the materialist may not. Hatred is grounded in the belief that something is bad, wrong or evil. These notions may only originate in the comparisons of that which is with that which may have been; however, how things are is all that is and could be. To the materialist, therefore, notions of hatred are absurd as would be cursing the sun for rising. This is easily extended to encompass the entirety of discontent with how things may be. Such things were always to be this way and it is absurd to postulate existence being any other way.

To all those who would say that nihilism is evil or hateful I say that their words stand as a testament to their own closed-mindedness and obscured perspective of thought. Perhaps, eventually, people will stop using the labels of “evil” and “bad” and in their place ask why they feel that way and, ideally, what circumstances and rationalizations (or lack thereof) brought that “evil” person to act as they did; the perpetual use of “evil” spawns irrational hatred which stands as a massive obstacle in the place of human intellectual development which is directly connected to scientific progress.

Surely nihilism is happiness?
