So friends,lets just 'talk' about 'nothing'....well how do you define 'nothing'??Is it by the mathematician's wit that defines 'nothing' by a big ZERO......DIVIDE BY ZERO.....or numerous of those cyrillic symbols that somehow becomes more important than we are??Now lets not get too philosophical about 'nothing'........'coz if Mr.Holmes came across'Mr.Nothing' in some dank,bleak English winter he would certainly have exclaimed "my dear Watson...." with the precisionof a "setter upon the scent of a quail" and provided a clear,rather outrageous impersonation of 'nothing'.......so lets justgive an honest maybe inadequate effort to scale that Jekyll or the Hyde named 'nothing'.......
Well,I beseech you extend your imagination and think "what if one day the world becomes 'nothing'?"....I am sure I amnot being a discoverer of this rather stupid and outrageous a thought..........you look out of your quaint little window only to be greeted by a wonderfully terrible....or terribly wonderful sight of nothingness...........the hustleof the people over steaming cappuchinos......the honks of the engines caleed automobiles......the clatter of pens uponsoftboards......the diffident silence of the chessboards......the wisps of the gaudy jets.....all contracted and imploded in an inspiringly morose silence of 'nothingness'.......how would you feel??
Would you want to trade it for the same old clamour that you have been a part of all these years?Would you throw up in themelancholy silence and barter everything that you seem to have to return to that world full of 'everything'??Is it how you feel when people tell you that you are out of the 'system'???
But then what is the 'system'??
Is it defined by the way we have been behaving all these years?......You smile when your relatives stand to claim their rights after twenty years of "hi,hello.." over the phone.........you take all that it takes and give all that it takes to be a good student and earn a decent report in your high school........you sweat beneat yourself in a dream that yourelders have entrusted upon you.....what is the yardstick of the 'system'??.....Trust me,confused that I am,after all these years the 'system' is still not clear to me......and yet I am a part of that system......and the glass have never been 'half full'.....now I am beginning to wonder if this is the system.....what lies in the 'nothingness' outside it??And I have no clue.........
So how would you react if by most uncermonious flights of fantasy....you suddenly wake up before the unknown nothingness which lies outside the 'system'(is it??) and see the entire world in front of you......would you like to return to the 'comfort' that the 'system' has been providing you....or would get up and step outside into that world of 'nothing' and check out if at all it has anything stored for you...............................
That's an answer I could'nt think of..........
