Now, this doesn't mean that advocates of nihilistic philosophies are violent or physically destructive. The denial of self and the recognition of the illusion of reality is part of the Buddhist theology.

If you have a desire to physically react to the illusory world around you, then you are falling for the illusion. The only way out is not without but within.
