Meaning, meaning, wheres the meaning?
I firmly belive in the philosophy of nihilism so let's debate it is there any series of logical conclusions which can state(logically) that any one thing has meaning? Nihilism is the philosophy which states no one thing has any real meaning and it is backed by a series of logical arguments. Look it up on wikipedia(im not allowed to post links yet)

Why nothing, for nothing which exists is meaningful.

If nothing has meaning, why do we feel?

Feeling is just what arises, it only becomes meaning when we add a story to what arises.

How do we know what the feeling is if there is no meaning behind feeling it? |

Yea there's nothing wrong with a meaning but its when we are lost in that meaning, its when we believe that meaning to be real, its not realizing that it is only our perception, our story, with this realization we can see a rose as more than just a meaning that has been handed down to us by every ones else's meaning, which they have received from the one before them.

Would something that has a symbolic meaning count? Because I believe that exists everywhere you look

So the logical arguments have meaning then, according to the nihilists? ...
