Nothing is everything!



Nothing is everything!

And when the nothing doesn’t remain nothing at that time you tend to think of something…

Something, sometimes are meant so much in the life that you tend to say that this is it; this means a world to me! And that is how we define from nothing = everything to everything  = something. But this transition is dangerous, it kills the charm of everything… and that kills certain aspect of your personality, certain aspect of your life as you would have perceived or certain aspect of the world in which you were planning to spend entire life.

This is too dramatic to say, this is kind of paradox where you can have absurd views towards something or everything. But nothing last for long… you know when we say it – it is kind of bulling around – as everything or anything which have had been there in the time it remains there; one can never say that it doesn’t last – as it is there and will always be there one can’t go back and remove that everything or something or can change everything to something! 

Today, I was reading a book called Fooled by Randomness and the author has said something about happiness; I would like to share the same: it is conversation between Croesus, King of Lydia and Solon, the Greek legislator. When Solon visited Croesus at that time Croesus asked Solon that if he had known a happier man than him. Solon cited the life of a man who led a noble existence and died while in battle. Prodded for more, he gave similar examples of heroic but terminated lives until Croesus, irate, asked him point-blank if he was not to be considered the happiest man of all. Solon answered (this is what I would like to highlight): “The observation of the numerous misfortunes that attend all conditions forbids us to grow insolent upon our present enjoyments, or to admire a man’s happiness that may yet, in course of time, suffer change. For the uncertain future had yet to come, with all variety of future; and him only to whom the divinity has (guaranteed) continued happiness until the end we may call happy”. 

I don’t want to build an analogy between the said part about everything to something and the shared incident from the book. Yet I want to state that everything or something has existence until we may call or feel that it is there. The existence of everything or anything or something is there until we believe that it is there. And yes, it is there nothing can be anything or something or everything. It is what it is till the end!
