The subject of Nothingology is about nothing. Literally, its the study of nothing. Nothing is made up of two words: "no" and
"thing" or no-thing. Nothing is inversely related to the presence of anything and is directly related to the absence of everything.
Nothing is a very important
part of our lives. We sometimes talk about nothing, we often think about nothing, and most of the
time we eat and drink nothing. The main cause of most of the deaths this year was nothing. History is the testament to the fact
that many wars were fought over nothing. Space consists of mostly nothing. When we look up in the sky on a dark, chilly,
winter night, nothing is there to comfort us. In our sleep, we dream about anything and everything, and yet, most of the time we
wake up only to remember nothing. We live most of our lives for nothing. It is a custom in eastern cultures that when you do
someone a favor, expect nothing in return. Nothing is such an interesting concept, and yet when we come to think about it,
we consider everything else before we discuss nothing. We even say that anything is better than nothing.
There's a magic in nothing. When people possess nothing, they don't care about anything. Many revolutions were caused simply because people could lose nothing.
Even politics shares nothing. Many politicians talk about nothing in particular. And politicians are most happy when people do nothing.
But nothing has its downside. We get bored when nothing happens for a period of time. Some people get nasty when they have
nothing to do. It is said that the minds of those people who have nothing to do can become the workshop of
the devil. That's why people
are advised to do anything to avoid doing nothing. Thus, nothing is the basis for most of the things we do. We
also must not do nothing if we want this world to become a better place to live.
One last thing, whenever something bad
happens to you, always remember
nothing.
