about nothing

Nothing  is  of  course  something  we  know.  Socrates  dixit.  Whether  we  consider  it  enough  

to  begin  playing  with  words  or  not,  it  is  obviously  to  what  sight  concearns  that  this  is  the  

point  of  departure  of  thinking.  While  something  is  off-­‐scene  it  is  imposible  to  regard  it  as  

something  but  this  doesn´t  necesarily  means  that  it  is  invisible.  At  least  as  something  to  

talk   about.   it   comes   into   scene.   Much   has   been   said   about   the   difference   between  

thinking  as  seing  and  believing.  What  may  be  bright   to  some  is  stupid  to  others.  Some  

finds  this  text  bright  and  it  is  just  nonsense  to  others.  Something  is  of  course  nothing  we  

know.  Maybe   the  only  difference  between   something  and  nothing   is  what  we   find  out  

independently  of  what  we  were  expecting  to  find.  As  our  ignorante  has  no  limits  we  are  

limited   to   what   we   know.   As   human   beings   the   only   pecularity   that   distinguishes   us  

from  other  animals   is  our  possibility  of  being  contradictory.    We  need  not   to  welcome  

this  fact.
