Nothingness

(exploring a concept)

'How would nothing exist? For "nothing" to exist, it would have to be nowhere specifically. For if it were anywhere, it would be somewhere. And for nothing to be somewhere would be absurd. (We are not interested in an absurd concept here -whatever absurd might mean to you.) Thus, nothing is nowhere. Yet for nothing to exist, this nowhere must be somewhere, simply not somewhere specifically. There is no option left but to conclude that for nothing to exist, it should be everywhere, absolutely and without relative absence in any place. Then we would be nothing simultaneously with being something, which would be absurd. Thus we are something and this existence of something proofs there can be no such thing as an absolute nothing, even though this nothingness seems to be quite a dominant thing to subvert. We could say that our existence is very much against all odds. Would there have ever been an absolute nothing, then it would have been undone in one single instance: the coming-into-being of existence. That would have been a remarkable event indeed.

Any nothing existing alongside this miracle of existence could only be a relative nothing: a nothing able to co-exist, a nothing which exists! As this sounds absurd, we can hereby only conclude this oppositional train of thought is fruitless - this form of traditional philosophical reasoning has reached its limits of viability - it becomes meaningless, it becomes nothingness, nihilism - it is very vain and quite in vain.'
