Nothing

I wonder, how much can you blog about nothing? I mean, you can be saying nothing.  You can be looking at nothing.  But generally when you are looking at nothing, you are actually looking at something.  Like the insides of your eyelids.  Or a blank piece of paper.  When you are saying nothing, you are actually saying something.  You are saying something in a quiet way.  You are making a statement of silence.  Silence can be stronger than noise.

Blogging about nothing, however, is a totally and completely different concept.  If you blog about nothing, that generally means you have a blank page.  Or maybe you can take it literally, meaning you are blogging about "nothing." But, this doesn't occur very often.  And when it does occur, nothing much ever comes out of it. Unless, more nothingness comes out of it.  That can happen very often: nothing comes from nothing.  For example, if you say nothing, then nothing will be said to you.  That is why quiet people are lonely. Because they say nothing, nothing is said back to them.

Nothing, by itself, is a totally different idea. In fact, it shouldn't even be grouped with the other nothings. Nothing can't be anything.  Nothing can't be achieved, because there is never nothing.  There is always something. Imagine nothing.  You can't. Its impossible.  You can imagine the word nothing, or you can imagine someone saying "nothing."  Heck, you can even imagine a blog post about nothing.  But no way, in any shape, can you imagine nothing by itself.

If there was nothing, there would be nothing.  And nothing would exist.
