The nothing which wanted to be something

Post by New Hegdeh »

Once upon a time there was a nothing which wanted to be something, anything… Or I should say there was not? It was not a man, an animal or a monster. It was neither light nor darkness, nor plant nor mineral, nor living nor dead, nor real nor false. It just was not. It was exactly that; nothing. Yet it had a strong desire to be something; anything.
But how can nothing have something? Isn't having a property of anything which is, which isn't nothing? Enough to think that that nothing was, actually, something? Yet, if it was, what was it?
To say that it was a nothing with great desire to be something should be understood as that it's whole self was filled by that desire. Because if it were something more it would be too much to believe it is nothing, so that nothing was, indeed, the desire itself, the desire to be something. But then, the nothing wasn't so, it was a desire to be what it didn't knew it was. Then, with the same system, we could say the nothing was both, the desire to be something and the ignorance of actually being something, even more, it was the desperation of not considering the wish fulfilled. But we have realized what the nothing was. Has it realized what it is?
Yes, the nothing finally found out it was something and then it wanted to be more. By now it's beginning to see that it is actually an idea in a man who is writing it's story now and that therefore it is the man in the same way it's desire was it. Because that nothing was never so, it was all the time something, an idea and a man, a writer in his first footsteps through his life.

The end
Every minute is a year of struggle
