The challenge appears when these considerations of yours question yourself.
Who am I then?
From the objective point of view you are annihilated.
Because the more clearly you see, the more you lose your individuality.
Yet clarity also arouses compassion.
For this painful world and maybe you can eventually come to feel compassion for yourself as well.
Are you right there behind that compassion?

I have read this a number of times and I am baffled as to what your talking about. The proposition is this, there is no such thing as human action there is but human reaction. One needs to be motivated before one responds, that response is a reaction to what motivated the individual. If you can please clarify what your response means, it seems to have nothing to do with my post.
As long as you look at the world through separation, distinguishing one thing from another, then reality has its rational explanation.
Things interact with each other and that's how the world works.
And when something is still not understood how it works, then you will divide it even more, distinguishing more accurately, so that the things that arise from the new separation explain, with their action and reaction, how it really works.
The world is there, reassuring with its functional concreteness.
But if you start asking yourself the meaning of all this, you will begin to doubt it.
The world is increasingly clear in its functioning, which however has no value.
Evil and good do not exist, the world is an empty mechanism.
You have come to the evident truth, the nihilistic nothingness of values.
But this "truth" has feet of clay.
That is, it assumes that there is something there anyway. Something that has no value, but something nonetheless.
While this is not the case.
Because the Nothing shines through everywhere.
Other than nothing of value!
There is no thing that has no value, because the Nothing is total!
You can arrive at this observation considering that you too, who judge the non-value, are nothing more than a mere succession of action and reaction.
Even nihilism turned out to be an alibi, in order not to stare at the Medusa.
It is the Nothingness that becomes presence.
Is the truth then the absolute Nothingness?
Only you can answer.
To be or not to be?
But can you still really not be?
