Well, it’s not that we cope with nothingness whilst living, exactly, is it?
We come from nothingness and nothingness is simply our ‘fate’ (no, I don’t mean it like
that!).
Nothingness is incomprehensible, I know, you know. Beyond our ken — yet, yeah, we fear that which we cannot imagine, don’t we?
I think that we accept nihilism, accept that we’ve no destiny or meaning, and accept finality. We’re just as unable to understand nothingness as we’re unable to, say, stop the Earth from rotating around the Sun; doesn’t make sense, does it? Why worry about that which we cannot do?
