    I'm well aware of the philosophy of Absurdism (finding inherent meaning in life will ultimately fail because the sheer magnitude of information and lack thereof for the vast unknown), but I'm curious as to what the majority of the Gamez Aion community thinks on the subject. Is there a benevolent being guiding our every way of life? Or maybe you take the nihilist route and think life is arbitrary?

    What about morality? Is this knowledge of right and wrong, good and bad somehow inherent? Perhaps any perceived morale habits are contrived, and we are neither born good nor evil? What is your opinion?

    I preffer the nihilist route and I think life is arbitrary.

    Good and bad are merely points of view inside a social and cultural structure, the definition and aplication of both will change in the flow of time. So i prefer to think that values is what matters in a person... morals, ethics, good and wrong will change and bend as times goes by... but your values will remain.

    Mind explaining what you personal meant by the word arbitrary and benevolent. I know what they mean but their is varies meanings on the single words.

    By arbitrary, I meant random. On whims instead of destined. And benevolent as in gentle and kind, like the christian God who loves everyone.

    Stating the general consensus. I can assure you that this is not my belief.
