Hope (in...) destroys nihilism

Vecna is the embodiment of all corrupted existential philosophies.

"Such widespread phenomena as depression, aggression and addiction are not understandable unless we recognize the existential vacuum underlying them."

  • Viktor E. Frankl
Man's Search For Meaning.

Vecna's victims have been bitten by this bug; their past trauma and how they've interpreted it those events, and it's that which Vecna seeks to exploit.

Nihilism is a consequence of world view, and despair are it's rotten fruits. Vecna manifests that despair to it's furthermost conclusion. Nihilism in its final stage is violent. Destroying the world and our bodies.

How do we ward of meaninglessness? By obtaining meaning.

El portrays this in her rainbow room battle with 001. She attempted to pull on anger and hurt and it failed. She then reminisced on her life and value, and that's what empowered her.

If you want to destroy despair, you must first reject all that tries to convince you that you're nothing; a pest, a cosmic mistake.
