A thought on Nihilism

If my understanding of the concept or ideology is correct, there is absolutely no point to anything in life.
We are born, we experience our existence, and then instantaneously it's forgotten, with the loss of consciousness in death.
I like this philosophy, as everything in life loses its meaning, something we've placed on life to give it purpose.
War gives politicians and the military an opportunity to 'kill' (Morbid but true) time. In every death, the person loses consciousness and time loses its meaning to him/her. To us it continues and we suffer the grief and loss that everyone must experience and then allow others to mourn over our graves.
Really now matter how much I accomplish in life, I will be forgotten in a maximum of 200 years time (Assuming I bother to do something with my life) tops.

And I'm okay with that. I'm okay with no longer existing, because this was pointless.

On one hand we have a society built on existentialism (once again forgive my misuse of the term (If I have misused them)), that is to say, "creating" meaning for people to focus on.
Whether that be through religion, a hobby, a career, a family. All these things allow us to pass time stressing, forgetting, and exploring life before it abruptly ends and we forget everything we accomplished, a few cry over us for 1 day to 1 year.

...and then life continues, because stopping for a single person, one insignificant human being in a society based around the concept of time and a society home to over seven billion people, is pointless.

One dies every second, and I've seen that happen, twice. I know people who have involuntarily seen people shot for no apparent reason, yet we'll never stop for them.
People aren't important until they die, and even then they are only of importance for the maximum of a week.

I speak of course about the common man. Celebrities also too will be forgotten along with the trends of an era. Eventually time will get ahead of us and perhaps another dark age will occur, where, following the only method of communication being a possibly dead language(s) and writing, and the passing of information being only from orating it, The Beatles sang Smells Like Teen Spirit, new religions emerge to replace Catholicism etc.

Eventually our lifetime is lost in history like much of the antiquity is today.
Archaeologists don't care what happened during our lifetimes.
We consumed the Earth, destroyed and left it for them to figure out our problems, but I don't care,

I am a Nihilist.

At this moment in time I'm surprised 90% of people aren't making use of this time.
Me, I've got to go to school, get a job and be forgotten, hopefully before becoming a statistic to a wide range of incurable diseases and illnesses.

I'm surprised the human race isn't making the most of this time and simply pairing off with the opposite sex and fucking each others brains out for the pure pleasure found in life and existence.

People don't do this because some idiot with a sword and the loyalty of his friends, organised and forced us to work for a living and suffer for the advancement of mankind. Life ended up being a consumers dream, a poverty stricken wasteland, and a society conforming to its own assumed standards all at once. Why? Because the population with no more meaning to their existences as I have decided to be fearful of one another and stop thinking outside the square, Lifeis how it is and there is no point in changing it.

That's correct, because there is no point in suffering for betterment of humankind when I, we, and the future: they, will be dead and forgotten either when we die, or when the sun explodes and the universe can no longer support life, along with its history books which lack our names.

When I am dead, I won't know it.
And I'm ok with that...
