A)
About nothing
1. Somebody
asks us:
-
What is wrong?
2. And
we reply:
-
Nothing.
B)
But how many things lie behind this indefinite
‘nothing?’
3. How
many times haven’t we caught ourselves sitting in our room, watching something
on TV or on the computer, or simply starring at the walls, feeling bored and
having nothing to do?
4. Perhaps
90% of our life consists of such useless time, which passes by leaving us
ashtray, feeling that our life is going away without meaning.
C)
Idleness is the root of all evil…
5. Is
it our own laziness the deeper cause of such inactivity? Is it the strange
force of inertia, which governs our souls as well as all the matter in the
universe?
6. Or
perhaps is there a certain thing lying behind our inability to act?
7. I
remember once I was so paralyzed by some strange feeling that I couldn’t even
move…
8. What
is this kind of nothingness, which gets so thick and dominating deep inside
that paralyses all our actions and thoughts?
9. Is
there an unconscious fear behind our unwillingness to do something, the nature
of which we are unaware of?
D)
If nothing is finally something…
10. I
believe that this ‘nothing’ we reply when we ask ourselves what is wrong with
us is definitely ‘something,’ or even a bunch of things, which have gathered in
our mind, probably undesirable, and which overcome our will to act.
11. Bad
memories, obligations which we would like to avoid- if we think about it there
can’t be anything which we wouldn’t like to do at any moment.
12. So
why don’t we just put such bad thoughts aside? But first we have to focus on
that ‘nothing’ which haunts us, realize what it really is, and deal with it.
E)
If you can’t avoid something then try to enjoy
it…
13. But
even if, and this would be in some extreme case, we have already solved all our
problems, or at least the basic ones, could we still feel that there is nothing
to do?
14. If
we did find all the answers to the greatest and most profound problems about
the nature of the universe and the meaning and purpose of life, what would be
then left for us to do?
F)
Thus I wonder…
15. What’s
the problem?
16. Nothing?…
17. But
if nothing is the problem, there must be something still…
