NOTHING as: not any thing : no thing
and
EVERYTHING as: all that exists
We must start from nothing to achieve everything. Everything is always there. Nothing only exists when we empty ourselves of the labels and loosen that strangling grip we allow our past to have on us.
If we say we are guilty then innocence is not possible.
If we say we are stupid then intelligence is not possible.
If we say we are a liar then honesty is not possible.
I say everything is possible because I am nothing...

"I used to believe that anything was better than nothing. Now I know that sometimes nothing is better."

and the originator of these thoughts in my mind tonight is the author of the following quote:
"One creates from nothing. If you try to create from something you're just changing something. So in order to create something you first have to be able to create nothing."

Goodnight! I must now find the nothing behind my eyelids... so sleepy...
