I Am An Existential Nihilist

This poem by Vladimir Mayakovsky is particularly beautiful, it was the poem he adapted to serve as his suicide note.

Here's some lyrics for you,
[i]So much has gone
And little is new
And as the sunrise stream
Flickers on me,
My friends talk
Of glory, untold dream, where all is God and God is just a word
"We had a friend, a talking man
Who spoke of many powers that he had
Not of the best of men, but ours
We used him
We let him use his powers
We let him fill our needs
Now we are strong[/i]

I'll take his words over some derangement into nihilism. I'll take the moment to find purpose, and continue on.

And just how concerned one should be to say of themselves, [quote]there is no need to wake and worry you[/quote] To the universe, never let me adapt a poem into justifying suicide. That's where nihilism goes wrong pretending very too often its caring for another when it's really being selfish. Sorry
