Nothing

3 min readDec 15, 2019

Hi there. This story is about nothing. There is absolutely nothing in it. I started writing it because I had nothing to do on an idle Sunday afternoon.

I will continue writing about nothing, so there is nothing of interest here. Why do you keep reading it? I aim to achieve nothing here. This article will leave you with nothing.

Nothing is really important. When you have nothing, then you have nothing to lose. Oops! Now this is something. I lost nothing. Let me get back to nothing.

Nothing is everywhere. Most important nothing can be found in us. All you have to do to find it is to desire nothing. Yes. You read correctly. Not even one thing. Be effortless in your pursuit of nothing. Once you’ve found nothing then nothing will make sense. I hope I confused you enough.

I started reading about nothing. A textbook definition of nothing. Guess what? …Yes. You guessed right. I understood nothing.

Actually nothing was correctly described only by the Zen Buddhists: “ “.

Nothing hides in itself a whole philosophy. So in a way it is like Schrodinger’s Cat: Is it nothing? Then it’s alive. Or is it something. Then it is dead. And it seems that is both. Plus very confusing.

Let me give you some examples of nothing. Sometimes it’s better that nothing happens to you. Yet again sometimes it can be bad that nothing happened.“During our trip nothing happened”, it can mean that we arrived safely at our destination.On the other hand: ”I was at a restaurant last night and when I had to pay, I reached for my wallet and found nothing. So I had to peel potatoes in the kitchen.”

I found out that nothing is permanent.

It is hard to say nothing. Especially when your insides are momentarily crumbling over some epic drama that will be forgotten in a couple of days. Days that are not even a blip in this nothingness of time.

Nothing matters. This is a very optimistic statement even if it doesn’t seem like it.

This Christmas I wish for nothing. There’s nothing that will make me happier than to get nothing. See! It’s really fun to play with nothing.

There’s nothing like doing nothing.

Nothing is more important than nothing.
