Much Ado About Nothing

All right, not writing for 2 weeks isn't going to help my blogger's block problem. So excuse me readers, I am going to attempt the most dangerous act of blogging at your expense - to blog about Nothing.

What is Nothing? If we can explain what Nothing is, then Nothing is something, something is going to lead to other things and this is not really helping the situation. So I would try to explain what Nothing is NOT. In fact, Nothing is not about anything. Nothing is less than nothing else. Nothing is something that does not materialize. Nothing is everything that does not count. Nothing is no-thing, nada, nil, null, zero, zip...

When you can do Nothing, you are a noble -- not able to do anything. When you do Nothing, you pass the time but you do not do anything of significance. When you know Nothing, you are nodding all the time. When you have Nothing to say, you are whispering nothings. When you have Nothing, you are a nomad going nowhere. When you are Nothing, you are Nobody.

If anything, doing Nothing to achieve everything is something everybody is thinking about these days. In fact, I'm doing quite the opposite. I'm on the verge of doing something to achieve Nothing -- another dangerous act that I would do Nothing to recommend it.
