I don't recommend that you read the blog to which the enclosed comments are attached.  I did it a long time ago.  Upon rereading it, even I find it to be offensive.

Ignore everything that it says.        JJF

Re: You can't really have nothing

Ciel,

You may have what I call a classification obsession.  Everything has to have a name and be classified to be understood.  If it is nothing it is something because there can be no such thing as nothing.

People generally have to define things, even if there is nothing to define.  If there is nothing, you have to put a coat of paint on it so that you know what it is and where it fits into the cosmos.

When you make something out of nothing you have destroyed it.  It is no longer nothing.  Of course, if you want to think of nothing as something, that is a perfectly good practice.  You can symbolize it, as long as you remember that the symbol refers to absolutely nothing.

makes sense to me...  jj flash

You can't really have nothing
because nothingness is a thing.  It has thingness.  Thinghood.  Thingishness...  It feels sort of thingly...

Good to hear from you again.  You're a favorite of mine, as you know.  How is everything going?  I promise to get by your blogs soon.

Whacky,

Thanks for that tip.  The darling little fella was so ticked of at me that he chased me around the house until I could duck into the bathroom and shut the door.  He was growling at the door well after I finished War and Peace, took a shower, did my weekly shave, and combed the bugs out of my hair.  I began to contemplate an interlude of a sensual nature, then I shouted at myself, ''HEY.  WAIT A MINUTE!  Who's in charge here?''

Well, he had finally settled down enough that I could rush to the kitchen for a Dog Biscuit.  Suddenly, we were friends again.
         Isn't life amazing?  JJ Flash
