"Nothing" contains everything

As an existentialist would say, our life means nothing and with all our efforts, we are trying to reach to death.

Life has never been easy for anyone. People strive to survive it somehow. God has given us the power of emotions and intellectualism. We can think for ourselves and decide our future. But have you ever wondered about the reality of what future holds for us? We think it will bring us happiness or sadness; success or failure. But in reality, the future only brings us death!

Death is inevitable. Throughout our life, we study hard, work hard, earn money, follow societal norms, follow endless number of traditions and embed ourselves in a culture. But do we ever think what is going to be the actual end of it all? No.

Why?

This is because, as the renowned dramatist Beckett would say, we always get an impression that we exist. Very few amongst us can actually feel the predicament.

When life takes you down, challenges you to do impossible things.. just imagine that you don't exist and all the other unnecessary burdens of society will shrink to the minimum.

Feel the real meaning of your existence, which is precisely "Nothing". Thus, nothing contains everything in it. You just have to feel it and understand it. Feel the dread!!

What do you have to say about this? Feedback appreciated!
