Nihilism is simply belief in nothing, no more, no less; it isn't a Brown Note which makes a person Go Mad from the Revelation, pushes him onto the Despair Event Horizon, turns his entire life into an instant Cosmic Horror Story, converts him into a monstrously omnicidal Card-Carrying Villain, or automatically turns him wangsty or depressed. There are also many interpretations for nihilism. For example, Metaphysical nihilism is a literal belief in nothing. Moral nihilism is the view that morality does not exist as something inherent to objective reality; therefore no action is necessarily preferable to any other. For example, a moral nihilist would say that killing someone, for whatever reason, is not inherently right or wrong. Existential nihilism is saying life is meaningless and insignificant -- the form of nihilism which is often portrayed in this trope.
- However, this is a true Mind Screw. How does one believe in nothing, and yet believe this belief is truth? Because truth is something, but...

For more trivial matters, see The Other Wiki's entry on Friedrich Nietzsche, who never actually encouraged you to be a nihilist. On the contrary, he'd have urged you to say "yes" to life, by which he means making it worth living by your own standards.

In The Antichrist, Nietzsche tried to portray St. Paul as this character type who twisted Jesus' words to mean Happiness in Slavery. (He saw Jesus Christ himself as being an example of The Ubermensch -- one who lived his life by his own rules and made it joyful, without having any regrets.)
