Proselytizing for your point of view appears to be something you enjoy. In the end it is still up to me to decide the purpose of my life. There really is little more to say.
Each of us can assign a meaning to our life if we so choose, but that "meaning" is only there because We give it meaning; as such we can change that "meaning" on a whim. I have not chosen nothingness as a meaning, rather I acknowledged that there is no meaning. From here, I am trying to determine a source of motivation in moving forward.

I also am not advocating anyone else to take up this belief; I am not attempting to convert anyone else To this belief. I am just blatantly stating my own belief. There is a difference between pushing someone else to convert and sharing your own beliefs. Proselytizing is an inappropriate word choice.
