Nothing + Everything = Something


A mere mortal I am, far from realms of reality, Reality as I perceive,  is a distant clone of the one meant to be.
Life that I am... Matter is what I represent, eternal, immortal, omnipresent....!!!
Yet as I stand populated by my fellows I see nothing, I sense nothing and nothing is how they see me...
But then there is more to life than pure science or psychology, it encompasses the normal and transcends the paranormal.
The questions that I ask..!! Can we limit, restrict or contain life, the way we see it or decide to spend it in a prison of words, that man has created to stimulate our literary and linguistic taste buds...???
In an idealistic scenario the concept of nothing & everything can only be used in “relation to” some other similar situation or scenarios.
From a purely human perspective when we use the words nothing or everything, we use it to express a state of mind or content.
So if an individual is content with the situation he is in or with the material of consumption at his disposal, he would convince himself to believe that he has everything.
A stark contrast to this would be the feeling of having “Nothing”.
Thus we can say that “Nothing” & “Everything” are two ends of a prism, what makes the difference is the end that we are looking towards.
On the other hand if a person is not content with is resources (Materials), his emotional balancers or the situation he would convince himself to believe that he has nothing.
So to put forth a hypothesis to explain the relation between nothing or everything, we could say that nothing/everything is a function of content.
Thus,
        N(b) or E(b) = f(C)
Where,
        N(b) = Belief of Nothing
        E (b) = Belief of Everything
        C = Content.
Scientifically, whole of universe is a space and any matter would occupy some space within it.
Similarly, we all occupy some space in this world, when we love someone more than the other all it means is the space that one has occupied in our heart is more than the other, same goes for any emotion or feeling we have or express.
And if this is fact then, there is no scientific justification of existence of “Nothing”.
Where as we can safely say that at any given point of time or situation there exists something in nature, be it material or emotion and it is this stance/side we take that determines the belief we carry.
So, what I propose to put forth is that there exists something in nature and it is our level of content acting upon that something that converts it into a belief of nothing or everything.
All of the best thoughts to be put forth here could be summed up in pearls of wisdom passed on through generations to us probably the most apt here is a German proverbs which says ,
“No man can do nothing and no man can do everything”.

  1. this is amazing. we sort of said the same thing, but you said it in a much briefer and better way.

    i like the way you have used a scale to measure the 'nothing' and 'everything'. you put them on two ends, while i said they co-exist and interchangeable.

    i have also said the existence on 'something' in 'nothing' and 'everything', but here again, you've said it better.

    awesome dude! job well done! Chapeau!
