Name: Bu'Miwh Luciige
Age: Unknown
Race: Chimaera. [Usually shapeshifted Human, though.]
Occupation: ArchWizard
RolePlay: In this place, where one would normally put a spot of RolePlay, I will, instead, put my views, which coincide with my character's, about Nihilism, as my character...is a rather..firm believer in it. If that's a problem, just contact me via messenger, and I'll RP some.
[Taken from a lecture to young students.]
Nihilism:
Now. Some of you may seem to think that, because of this, you are not in existence, in any form at all, and the romanticist's out there may believe, in fact, that you do exist, in entirety, and that the dead exist with you. However, both of these hold false. We exist, but, perhaps, not in the way that you might think. There is a spark, within each of us... a "soul" if you will. This spark is what separates us from the animals, men from the beasts. It allows us to transcend the Material Plane, and venture into another realm altogether, if we so choose. Through this spark do we exist, and are we able to bring forth our own realms, worlds... Our own existence.
The only way one may truly exist, however, is to reach deep within himself, and find that spark...and crush IT out of existence, disallowing his own transcendence, and holding him here, in this plane.. Yes, it seems like a rather..risky ordeal. But, in this way, one is able to be truly free of the bindings that hold our society in this way, to capture oneself, and bring out the utter and complete joy of existence, that not a one of us, perhaps, will ever experience..

Nihilism:
- Philosophy.
1. An extreme form of skepticism that denies all existence.
2. A doctrine holding that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated. - Rejection of all distinctions in moral or religious value and a willingness to repudiate all previous theories of morality or religious belief.
- The belief that destruction of existing political or social institutions is necessary for future improvement.
- Psychiatry. A delusion, experienced in some mental disorders, that the world or one's mind, body, or self does not exist.
