All I want is to write and to share what I do with someone. If only one person out of our seven billion can say they felt something from my words, then I have lived.

Nothing

What is nothing? Nothing cannot exist. The simple fact that nothing can be thought of means it is something and so cannot be nothing. And by giving nothing a name we are in a sense admitting it is something and thus, at the same time, by admitting it is something, proving that it cannot exist.
To try to imagine nothing is impossible in itself. When forced to contemplate an empty void, our brains begin to burn with the effort and the concept becomes overwhelmingly, intensely unfathomable to the point where it becomes actually painful. This is most curious. People have always referred to "nothing" without much thought or consideration, but when one actually begins to delve into the true meaning of the word, they find that logically it makes no sense.
Imagine this void, this landscape of endless empty. It is a gaping hollow void of absolutely everything. Void of time, void of life, void of substance. It is the end of all something and it is the beginning of nothing. And it does not exist.
