A point of view that stems from a more pessimistic starting point; my life has no inherent value. If I do nothing with it it's not a net loss, it's a net even. ANYTHING you get out of life is a fundamental increase in value. If you derive a small amount of pleasure from reading a book or eating a bowl of icecream you have wasted nothing, you have gained a little bit of joy.
