Once you reach nihilism, abandoning it is just a cope. Camus never "rejected" nihilism, but he learned to live with it.

As Nietzsche has it in Will to Power:
>It is a measure of the degree of strength of will to what extent one can do without meaning in things, to what extent one can endure to live in a meaningless world because one organizes a small portion of it oneself.

He starts with "why don't we all commit suicide?"
and ends with "because we can just make up meaning to eternal torment and imagine ourselves being happy about it".
It's the definition of a cop out. The conclusion to his work is suicide unless you're somehow able to continuously fool yourself into creating meaning.

"I cannot tell if what the world considers ‘happiness’ is happiness or not. When I observe the way people go about attaining it, I see aggression, tension and obsession. Like a herd they are unable to stop themselves or to change their direction. All the while they claim to be just on the point of attaining happiness."
-Zhuangzi

Pain is a part of life just like pleasure, there's no need to make the extra step you're suggesting.
>>16345800
If you say something like that you also to provide insight about the nature of happiness.
To me happiness is state of mind I have as I endure life.

Most of them just tend to think their puberty and the lack of meaning tied to it was a "nihilistic phase". Well it was just puberty doing its thing. Hence the "i was nihilistic at 15 but now that I am an adult, I'm not". Sure, the guy just became a materialist hedonist sheep, which many call "normies".
