by all means, feel free to show me why i am wrong. one does not come to the view of nihilism because one thinks it's convenient. it would be a nice thing if the world were just, and that those who did bad things would ultimately have bad outcomes, while those who do good in life will ultimately have good outcomes. this appeals to our innate human desire for things to be fair. we are social animals, after all. but just because we want things to be a certain way does not mean things necessarily are that way. you cannot start from a perspective of "how would an ideal world be" and then assume that's what things look like when you pull back the curtains. we only have what we can observe. and the world we can observe is as chaotic as can be. we have good things happening to good people and bad things happening to bad people... but just as much we have bad things happening to good people and good things happening to bad people. the world is led by pedophiles, and everyone knows it. and yet nothing bad ever happens to them. so we hope "maybe these people will get their comeuppance in the afterlife". but we don't even know if that afterlife even exists.
