I often find that the most nihilistic among us (you know, “the world is effed, it’s too late…” or, “the planet will be fine when we’re all dead”) are those who do the least to make a difference. Our nihilism, too often, is cover for our own laziness, our own comfort, our own unethical choices.
The alternative is to care. And to walk that talk, and make hard choices to live an ethical life—not a perfect one—but one in which we try.
Here’s a man who’s the Opposite of Nihilistic.

Shawn is a cinematographer, photographer, and marine conservationist who inspires action through art. He works to safeguard the planet’s oceans and the animals that call them home. Check him out!
