Nothing is Not Nothing

Folder: 
Reality

light created darkness. Something came before nothing or Darkness created light. Nothing came before something. To say something has always existed seems contradictory because there are equally things that will never exist, unless they come into existence. Thus, existence is an effect of a cause which is unknown or a cause which is nothing. But then contradicting that conclusion, a cause can be effected. Thus, the correct conclusion is that existence has no cause, because that cause does not exist. It never existed. That cause was imaginary because it is believed to be what came before there was anything.

 

The word nothing is in reference to a thing just as the word something is. Why is this? Because it is relative. The absence of a thing is in comparison to a thing that is not absent. Nothing is not nothing because it is just an an imagined lack of a thing. This lack of a thing is merely our understanding of what is lacking not actually what is lacking. We create nothing in our heads. Nothing is merely the question mark to the unanswered question of what is lacking.
