just a thought

everything has nothing. and by nothing, i mean nothing is cute, or awesome, or good, or bad, or evil. fundamentally there is no value on anything. and i feel like that is inarguable. everything is nothing.

the only way that things have a value, or an importance, or even a meaning, is when we as human beings attribute something to it. there are no good ideas, bad ideas, smart people, brilliant novels, and even love. just ideas, people, words on a page, and two people. its all about what it gives back to us, or how we can use it, or what it means to us.

i know this really is just like armchair philosophy and not really much, but it was just a thought that i liked. i'm sure even the romans thought of it or something, like its not about me saying a brilliant idea, its just me trying to share an idea to people, that i think is neato.

and fuck people.

cursed typos.

You should read Dostoyevsky's "The Brothers Karamazov" also. I hear it was somewhat influential in Nietzsche's development of some of his views, namely perspectivism and his nihilism.

It's really a good book, I cannot recommend it enough.
