People who do not have belief and totally reject the social conventions and beliefs, especially pertaining to religion are said to follow nihilism. Nihilism argues and negates the established beliefs and the basic reason can be rooted to disgust and despair combined with disappointment. EM Cioran said, ‘everything is nothing, including the consciousness of nothing. Better to be an animal than to be a man, an insect than an animal, a plant than an insect and so on.’ Nihilism leads you to nowhere and they are very few supporters to nihilism. Optimism is the root that makes us all survive and let us hope that tomorrow will be better than today. “Nihilism is not only despair and negation but above all the desire to despair and to negate ‘said Albert Camus.
