nothing is much of anything

it would seem that
nothing is much of anything
until you stop and state what it is

- then it becomes 'important'.

However anything is more than nothing.
Since nothing is not important
the 'more' that anything is
is merely its importance
which is evidenced by the fact that
if importance is removed from anything
it becomes nothing.

There is no such thing as 'nothing' that is what is known in Buddhism and other paths as nihilism. How can there be nothing would you like to tell me that ? Has a scientific experiment ever been done which ends up with nothing ? Use your brain man ! Use your god given brain laddy !

Shhh or they will have you believe that 'nothing' gave them their brain.

...or maybe convince you that they are their brain!

Meanwhile, anything that is nothing is everything.

My brain (that god gave me) still hurts, but I'm also coming down from mystical ecstatic rapture into worlds of non-dual agony.

well if you don't think the things in your life are important, try forgetting they are there for a moment?
