I differ in opinions there. Nihilism also encompasses living your life, however, living your life day to day and not getting locked up in the past. You see it is freeing to know that regardless of how you die everyone dies one day. The Germans were so empowered by nihilism they started a few wars. They suddenly didn't have to be diplomatic about everything because one day they are dead anyway. That was a very bad interpretation of nihilism. Nihilism also encompasses not letting other people get to you and seizing the moment. Much better.

A proto-existentialist idea chalks everything up into an extension beyond death. Then again if you think about it, what happens if you die? Either you are dead and it is over or it is not. That would mean knew changes and existence await everyone. New challenges, new groups of consciousness, but what does any of that mean if everything already means nothing.

Being comfortable with yourself and others is therefore crucial. You can't just die and be dead, even though you are dead to everyone still alive. (Death is dealt with by the living in many ways).

Budha even said (paraphrasing) the only thing constant is change. You can choose to fight against it or simplify your life by going with the flow.
