Thanks for nothing.
You’re welcome, furryman. That really touches me. I know it wan’t about me, but still. I can’t count the number of times a day I give people nothing, and do I ever get a simple “thanks”? .
No, I do not
And yet, you, a stranger on the internet, has thanked another stranger for giving you nothing. It just warms my heart. You didn’t have to be appreciative of the nothing, but you were. And I salute you for that, sir.
About what you’d expect in a universe from nothing.
“And Nothing is very strong: strong enough to steal away a man’s best years not in sweet sins but in a dreary flickering of the mind over it knows not what and knows not why.”
C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters
There is a riddle:
It is greater than God and more evil than the devil. The poor have it, the rich need it and if you eat it you’ll die. What is it?
The answer is in this thread title somewhere.
Nothing is everything.
“Nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’ but it’s free.”
Me and Bobby McGee

Wednesday and Thursday, nothing.
Friday, for a change, a little more nothing.
Saturday, once more, nothing.
