It was hard to understand, and all I knew was that you had to run, run, run without knowing why you were running, but on you went through fields you didn't understand and into woods that made you afraid, over hills without knowing you'd been up and down, and shooting across streams that would have cut the heart out of you had you fallen into them. And the winning post was no end to it, even though crowds might be cheering you in, because on you had to go before you got your breath back, and the only time you stopped really was when you tripped over a tree trunk and broke your neck or fell into a disused well and stayed dead in the darkness forever.

What makes one a Nihilist is simple...we have a perfect image in our mind of the "Perfect World", but we know that that "Perfect World" can never be...no god or goddess...no religion...no religious guru...no silly political system or power hungry politician, can make that "Perfect World". We know that everything that comes out of everyone's mouth is just shit we all make up.
“If you wish to understand, know that a sudden comprehension comes when the mind has been purged of all the clutter of conceptual and discriminatory thought-activity. Those who seek the truth by means of intellect and learning only get further and further away from it. Not till your thoughts cease all their branching here and there, not till you abandon all thoughts of seeking for something, not till your mind is motionless as wood or stone, will you be on the right road to freedom”
― Huang Po, The Zen Teaching of Huang-Po: On the Transmission of Mind
