I like the simple aphorisms such as "Every day above ground is a good one." And the obvious symbols such as the sun rising and setting. When I cut the grass it grows back healthier than before. The problem with nihilism, IMO, is that it contradicts itself. The will to nothingness implies that there is will and if the nihilist claim there is no fruit than what of his own knowledge? If the absolute-I and the not_I coexist than there is rumination. Though appearing to have no purpose the nihilist, by attribute, is to prove he is not and hence defining purpose.
