I had thought that nihilism was a fatalistic world view. Because in the end, everything dies and is destroyed, what is the point to doing anything?

btw, the nice thing about the English language is that we can have any word we want. From "vis a vis" to "viola" to "sushi" we just take any word we want in another language, and begin using it. I'd heard that there are over 1 million accepted english words, although a working vocabulary of 150,000 is considered impressive.
