why is nihilism so comfortable? it makes me feel like everything is going to be alright, even when things aren’t “right”.

i find that nihilism and stoicism have common themes. things like ephermiality of everything, emotion as something that comes and goes, acceptance of bad and good, etc etc.

where do you think the line between stoicism and nihilism is drawn? i think stoicism strives to be “good” while acknowledging the “bad”. nihilism has acknowledgement of both, yet is indifferent to either, and claims that there are no such thing as morals, things just are.
