Nihilism — the view that nothing could really matter — is both false and mischievous. False: some things do matter, regardless of our attitudes. Mischievous: if you believe it, your life will become less meaningful and good.
Nihilism is, then, rather dangerous. It'd be good to have an antidote. There are many, in fact:
1. Love: giving and receiving
2. Old Books: they remind us of what matters by taking us far away
3. Long Walks: we are animals, not spirits, and animals live best when animated
