Where would we be without nothing? Now it is hard to believe but God supposedly made the universe from nothing…yet it took a rib to make a woman……I cannot get my head round that one. Many great thinkers have written books and thought about nothing and without these thoughts nothing would have been done and we would be nowhere with nothing. Our computers are programmed with loads of nothings and cannot work without them. Our bankers rely on a whole bunch of nothings to put at the end of some numbers but even they ended up with nothing. Modern logic made it possible to articulate these points coherently as intended, and many philosophers hold that the word "nothing" does not function as a noun, as there is no object to which it refers. There remain various opposing views, however—for example, that our understanding of the world rests essentially on noticing absences and lacks as well as presences, and that "nothing" and related words serve to indicate these. One version of the story of nothing goes as follows: Nothing started out as an ordinary nothing. However, it was sick of being misnamed so it worked hard, and harder, and harder until it became included in every darn song made by the Beatles. But even this wasn't enough, as it became power hungry and began invading the houses of ordinary people, dressed as encyclopedia sellers, door salesmen, and it also came in the form of pie-eating contests; a form no one saw coming. Nothing soon took over nothing and everything. It became CEO of CBS, which is why that channel has absolutely nothing, and sometimes even less than nothing, which is an incredible feat that ABC is trying to do itself. There has been much ado about nothing. Nothing has been underestimated by everyone and it is now time to realize that nothing is important.

"Do not endeavor to be the smartest kid in a dumb class. Instead, you are better off being the dumbest kid in the smartest class, where you will be challenged and you will learn. If you aren't growing, you are dying." -Brian Austin Whitney
