Interesting word nothing and we all use it dozens of times each day. But what
does it mean?

Racking my brains to find inspiration for something to write about, I was beginning to experience the feeling of despair because I could not find anything that hasn’t already been done. “What?”, I ask myself, “ Nothing to write about?”

All of a sudden, that word NOTHING jumped out at me. So I decidecd to write about nothing. I thought it would be a good idea to check out the meaning of this unusual word that manages to slip into our every day vocabulary.

Feeling a bit lazy, I decided to do search on the word instead of using the dictionary. And low and behold, it seems that I can’t even write about this topic. Like every other subject one can think of, it is already up there on the Internet.

There are 1,670,000,000 enteries on nothing and 447,000,000 ( so called) pictures of nothing. Unbelievable isn’t it?

As for photos of nothing, try 362,000,000 pages of it and you’ll find nothing but advertising etc.

Wikipedia has nothing listed as a philosphy item, and there alone is a wealth of information on the word.

Pretty mind boggling stuff if you ask me.

Who would have thought that there could be so much about nothing?

NOT CONVINCED?

Check it out for your self and you’ll find all that there is to know about nothing, and that’s nothing to sneeze about!

I would love to add a photo or two about nothing, but that’s rather impossible. How can one really capture a picture about nothing when there is nothing to photo?

I hope you enjoyed reading this piece.

Back to more brain storming.

    Thank you my friends for your inspiring comments. I’m thinking I may do something about ‘ Something’ in the near future! And that’s a big maybe.
