Nothing is permanent. I spent a good chunk of time breaking this phrase down, today. I found there are two ways to look at it. These concepts are very difficult to articulate, but here is a paraphrased shot at it. Besides the obvious sense that all things come to an end, so to speak, it also parallels the phrase change is the only constant. One seldom recognizes nothingness as actually something. But I encourage one to try. One may quantify all separate things as one massive thing, comprised of all different things that exist, known and not known. So, because no single thing is ever the same, always changing, and nothing is ever the same as anything else, no one thing is everlasting; but also, the pure recognition of the quantity 0, as a thing, also means the non-existence of all things together, is also permanent. Containing all things together and recognizing that that they are connected based on the fact that they are all different from one another, and that makes them the same in one way, means that they are all capable of being subtracted by the same value that one can recognize them as a whole. One, minus itself, is zero. NOTHING is permanent. The permanence of nothingness as a whole. It is everlasting, and constant. It is the absence of change, with a difference of 0 and a starting point of 0. One simply recognizes that change is possible and detectable, giving a displacement of zero relevance that it would otherwise not have. I dont know what the point of this was exactly, but it did occupy my mind for a bit. I keep seeing more ways to phrase this, and see it applying to so many more relevant subjects in my life. This method by which I remove myself from a consciousness where I must always differeniate everything, gives me such a grounding perspective and bizarre method to rationalize and attain insight. I feel far less confrontational when I deconstruct many English words this way, and separate them from what I considered thier preconceived roots to be. #existententialism #philosophy #imanerd #butimnotsmart #sorry #waswatchingdonniedarko
