Please Peer Review This Paragraph (3) SHORT?

My cousin had always been interested in philosophy, and on occasion we would debate philosophical views and have deep arguments on world issues (now that I write this I can’t tell if we were strange or just intellectual and bored). When I brought up the topic of existentialism with him that fall, he was quick to dismiss it. He refuted my belief of ‘everything is connected’ with his belief of ‘nothing matters’. My cousin had recently read a book entitled Human, All Too Human, which was written by the author Friedrich Nietzsche; yes, my cousin had become a nihilist. Nihilism is the philosophical doctrine that suggests the negation of meaning and life. Nihilism states that a single human being as well as the entire human species is insignificant. Because of life’s insignificance, life is also without purpose and therefore it is unlikely that life will ever have significance throughout the totality of existence. To prove his point my cousin used the example of a martyr. A martyr is an individual who has chosen to suffer and die for his people. He told me to imagine myself as a martyr, and therefore I have made the decision to sacrifice myself for the greater good. My decision has lead to my inevitable death, however I have not gone to heaven nor have I become a spirit, and in all honesty I cannot tell you exactly what I have or have not become. What I do know however is that my death means absolutely nothing. Nothing that occurs now matters at all beyond this point. It was my decision to sacrifice myself for the greater good; but this does nothing in the scheme of things because death is inevitable.
