In your nihilism do not seek apathy

In your nihilism, do not seek apathy.
True, reality faults us all with its lies and its cruel mortal inevitabilities,
and this only derives one of two ideas.

Apathy; the nihilistic action of nothing, the lack of care for being, lack of movement.
Motivation; the advantage of the time, the existing for the sheer love of it.

It is easy to be apathetic; to be melancholic. To fix oneself to nothing in the entirety of being due to being's lack of reason -
death is the fairer way, and so follow that path
if it is true apathy, the difference will be none.

But no! Throw melancholy to the skies,
Our Time is a friend which lives brief, but gloriously, a dragonfly of universal proportion.
Experience, and in the end, experience is for nought, but the alternate is a lesser way.
