Being and becoming one with everything and everyone sounds absolutely horrifying and disgusting. Why do hindus and to a lesser degree, neoplatonists believe that anyone would want such a thing?

>samsara is eternal suffering complete with the obliteration of the self during every cycle
>nirvana is simply complete obliteration of the self by dissolving it into everything
How are buddhism, hinduism and related religions not the most depressing ideologies to ever exist? How are they not crypto-nihilism?
To aim for yourself to be destroyed, even if it is by merging into something greater, is life-denying.
Are there any books that address this issue?
