No-thing

Nothing is composed of two words, no + thing.

According to Merriam Webster dictionary online http://www.m-w.com its roots are one hundred percent english nevermind the invasions they have had throughout their mestizo cycle.

Etymology: Middle English, from Old English nAn thing, nAthing, from nAn no + thing thing

Etymology: Middle English, from Old English nAn, from ne not + An one. nan=not one (duh! I wonder how many freaking eons did it take those blokes to come up with that one ...)

Hence nothing in essence is not one thing

Thing is of another nature though, its etymology reveals shocking and revealing truths, get a load of this:

Etymology: Middle English, from Old English, thing, assembly; akin to Old High German ding thing, assembly, Gothic theihs time

So here we have evidence before us that time and people and its absence thereby are related to the total absoluteness of nothing, people, time, not one, zilch. That which we can not envision without us, time and the one in it.

Amazing.

In other words nothing exists as that portal were we put our existencial trash to, nothing is then a space and room were we place that which we choose to forget and not acknowledge that it has a place among us, our time and part of the one.

Yet there are contradictions in that which I just said, nothing although a realm that we can not envision, has a purpose in our lives doesn't it?

So nothing is something after all, although nothing, by its very nature cancels itself thus producing only that which it has, nothing, it remains a void, a place where everything is but not one.
