Last night I’ve seen some posts that talks/mention about existential nihilism, and I think I used to have great discussion with my little brother about this..quite interesting.
However, like I’ve said before in some posts here, since “Hope” is always seem to be inherent in each human being (seems to be our given Nature), then it’s only logical for me to try to find the ‘loophole’ with that branch of philosophy (by now I’m sure we all know that all kinds of philosophies & even science can always be found the ‘loophole’ and sometimes for a Good purpose to improve for a better ones, this is also human nature).
And a simple google search last night already returned me with these two interesting yahoo answers links:

Tell me what you think about those answers above, and if you even perhaps agree with one or some of them.

Life is an end in itself, and thus a standard of value. “Value” has no meaning to the indestructible, by the nature of life being finite. Food, shelter, friends, love are valuable things to you because they add to your life.
There’s a lot of EVIL philosophies out there, existentialism being one of them. It’s not the job of philosophy to tell you WHY you should live, but HOW.
(Note: I used the term “evil” only in a secular way, not the religious boogie-man way.)
“Hope” seems like an emotion of some chance of good against the odds. That’s why “hoping” for “change” didn’t really get us far.
