Nothingness vs. ?

I guess a sort of my own philosophy, as it were...


Poem Artwork

 Believe in the nothing,

Don’t believe & the nothingness controls,

Your every thought,

Everything we were taught,

To believe in the nothing, you will not get overwrought…

 
Ideas come & go,

We lose them in the constant flow,

Sometimes they tend to grow,

Other times in our internal library they get stowed…

 

To explain this any better I cannot do,

But don’t let this issue make you feel blue,

You will to yourself this explain,

After all you are you,

The inner self will forward to you many a clue…

 

Passing this thought on is similar to paying it forward,

Donate it to those in need,

Not all of it, just a small seed,

Those who are self-reliant won’t of it want,

With those you can of it shunt,

Just then step away and bunt.

I wish I could think of nothing. It would be easier for me to fall asleep. And I would be less overwrought. I'll try to take your advice.

"To believe in the nothing, you will not get overwrought…"........this is what I need to do once in awhile....drift off.... think of nothing and help others as you can.

Love ya!

Nothingness vs. a loving analyst. Me-thinks your mental repository is deleting while you're sleeping and you wake up every morning with a blank-slate and the faint aroma of the neighbors spliff slowly burning down in an ashtray. Droll and somewhat discomfiting ole friend. You're doing that combination effectively lately. Hope you are well. Peace... r

Dear Knave Knumb-Nutz :

As my ole friend & mentor Wiilie S. used to say:
"What's In a Name?"

Zero - Zip - Nil - Nada - The Big 0 ...

We All know the Score at ...

The Beginning of the Game !

Us = 0 Them = 0
We = 0 They = 0
Birth = 0 Death = 0

Then ... There's ... U ...
Edward "Zippy" Matlack ...
The Magnanimous Mammoth Mouth ...
Of Mushiness !!!

Who has now Introduced the World to ...
" N O T H I N G N E S S " ...

What could possibly be ... Versa ?
Or even Adverse ...
Or somewhat Subverse ?

-10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 ... 0
Z E R O ...
+1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7 +8 +9 +10

So, what does all this crap above
have to do with Anything ?
Or Nothing?
Or No Thing?
Duh ?

My contention is that, in Mathematics,
Zero - or Nothing - is the Center ...
The Beginning ...
The Jumping Off Point ...

The Juxtaposition between ...
Positivity ... and ... Negativity ...
Somethingness vs. Nothingness ?

But ... What's in a Name ???

Nothing ... or ... Everything !!!

Live Long and Prosper, my Fiendish Friend !

P. S. Make sure that there is at Least one 1
in front of All those 000,000,000,000 !

✌️🙏😎😻😜💙🇱🇷💚$$$

When you get right down to the fourth-down with more than a yard to go, I guess it's up to you in that last line to punt. Just don't miss and kick the bucket instead.

From nothing, you created something, and passed it on. Enjoyed.

A different style of writing for you, Ed, and one that I like very much . . .

"Donate it to those in need,
Not all of it, just a small seed,"

Yesss.
