Not Another Story

I was sitting there and thinking about nothing and thought to myself what an interesting subject nothing is. The more I thought about it, it seemed to take on the possibility of so many meanings when you talk about nothing. Nothing can be very important in giving other words meaning and can be used in so many infinite ways to bring meaning to conversations and even life itself. For example, if you say nothing there is no meaning or realistic understanding that an audience would understand what you are trying to communicate. What if I got up in front of an audience and said the word “nothing” and than just stood there for several minutes smiling at the audience. If I were in the audience I would wait for more to be added to nothing, but how could anyone start with nothing and be able to make a presentation.

How can you work on nothing and expect to accomplish what your job description is and if your boss asks you what you are working on, is it socially acceptable to tell him nothing? When you are inevitability are ask to come to your boss’s office for a discussion of your performance there is really nothing to discuss. How is it that nothing can be used in so many ways and have so many meanings all at the same time. I don’t believe any one of you has thought about or discussed nothing until you started reading this article. Think about it with me that nothing can be true while at the same time false depending on the situation you are in at the same time. I can’t think of another word that can be used in so many ways while accomplishing nothing.
