My nihilist take of the day: Maybe sometimes its just for the best to do nothing, you can not fix all of the worlds issues yourself after all. Maybe spend your attention on something less important no one really cares about.

Rate your nihilism at a scale X out of 10. For me it is perhaps a 6

That sounds similar to epicureanism: your goal in life is to experience pleasure, but it isn't just straight hedonism. For example life is more pleasurable when you are healthy, so you have to eat well and exercise to maintain your pursuit of pleasure.
