Miserables
What truly amazes me
is how seldom things
become "nothing".
Everything is recycled into more everything.
For "nothing"
by definition, is the opposite of anything
and everything
or the complete absence of anything.
Try and show me an example of "nothing".
Impossible!
There is nothing to show.
The only proof of any existence of "nothing"
is the evidence in the word, and that the
word is provided with a definition.
I believe "nothing" is a useless word.
For we can only find "nothing"
after we have seen everything.
