Maximum individuality is certainly preferable too being pigeonholed by social norms. Butt sadism, for example, isn't typically wise or effective. Even if the goal was to maximize disruption or destruction. Or neutralization.

Perhaps I'm relying on a Bhuddas own internal definition of Nihilism.

I believe choices matter. However. They matter certainly differently to different folks from different perspectives in different contexts. So to say something is meaningless or doesn't matter to me is absurd itself.

For me. I go out of my way to avoid killing bugs. Even though from a nihilist perspective that bug is already dead, has a short lifespan anyway. Etc.

I know it's absurd, butt for me it cultivates and protects me. My empathy causes me to feel miserable after killing bugs. My sense of self is more bound up in the web of life as a whole being or part of one. Therefore it is my way off of the wheel of suffering to ****avoid harming**** that which contains my body and ego within itself. And sharing my, the, world, universe, room ... body with a few bugs isn't then miserable.
