Stoicism of nihilism

Life is meaningless. Do I care? Do you think that such a thing could psychologically affect you?

It's normal to be scared. But what is fear?

Life is meaningless, but I do not care. To care about life, not care about meaninglessness! That is the way to go!

But wait, by definition, if you are a Nihilist, you have to completely ignore the fact that life is meaningless and not let it affect you! Because nihilism says it means NOTHING! Nothing to virtues, thus it should logically mean nothing to your pleasure!

Ignoring the truth, what a paradox. It can be good for your brain, though.

Basically, you know it's meaningless. But you cannot control the fact that it's meaningless. The whole circular logic of Nihilism is that it is meaningless. You live for Virtue anyway! I think I solved it; being stoic towards meaninglessness can also be Absurdism!
