That is a little nihilistic :) But yeah, I can understand the concept. Gladly, without too much of ego you don't take anything for granted and you cannot be destroyed. That's how I think about it. But if someone is in that state, I too think that it is impossible to get out of it, at least not without some help.

But how would you help someone to get out of it? Or why would you want to? It might seem as the easier option to be immersed in the ego conditioning (the Dark Side is quicker, easier, more seductive).
You cannot go back from the Dark night, only forward. And I believe that only a person who has gone through it can help you find a new meaning behind daily activities and new motivation to do them.
Well, we all have some kind of reason. I don't know why would anyone want to help you, but remember that everyone has their own reasons.
I have my goal in life and I am doing it. If I'll see that there is no point in that, I'll just think of something else or just quit and enjoy life. I don't see the point in being sad or in the Dark night :D
You might have misunderstood me. One does not choose to be in the Dark Night. You arrive there after experiencing a major disillusion about yourself and the world. If you don't understand it and would not want to experience it, good for you! Just keep going...
I'm sorry, I must sound very confusing. It is not an easy topic to talk about. I just hope that if it happens to you one day, you will remember to type "dark night of the soul" in google and let someone more articulate explain it : )
