I believe this to be true. Since smart people have the power to rationalize easily than most and try to explain and justify most actions, on top of asking a lot of questions due to curiosity. If you keep asking yourself, “why?” You’ll soon find yourself cornered, with insufficient information to keep answering. Why do I go to work? Why do I need money? Why do I need to eat? Why do I exist?

I know it is hard to stop asking these questions since I do it almost daily. A friend once told me, “that’s interesting, and I can understand where those questions come from, but in the meantime, life keeps going and running out.” And since then, I’ve learned to take power away from them, and my objective has become to enjoy life like one enjoys a nice meal with friends or a lovely dance. Without worrying about where we come from, what the meaning of this is, if reality is real, nor anything similar, though from time to time I still ask those by curiosity, yet knowing that it won’t change the way we live at all.

I recommend you this article where nihilism is dismantled and attacked by yet the most convincing argument I’ve found against it:

IS NIHILISM NONSENSICAL?
