    Nothing matters (so do nothing because there is no reason to do something)

    Nothing matters (so do anything because why not!?)

      I consider myself as mostly existentialist (nothing matters, so find your own meaning), but absurdism has a strong pull, I must admit.

      Because I didn’t know absurdism, I read the second one differently at first:

      [The] nothing matters.

      And I immediately had to think of this gem:

      “But it doesn’t do anything!” - “No, it does nothing.”
