What Is Hilism

Hilism is not just the opposite of nihilism.  Derived from the Latin "little thing" or "trifle", it stands for "something".  In anatomy, the term hilus represents "a small notch or opening, as where vessels and nerves enter the organ".  In botany, the term hilum means "scar on the seed, where it was attached to the seed stalk".

Hilism is the philosophy of the heart of the matter, the nucleus - no matter how small or difficult to see, it is the only thing that makes sense.
