I CERTAINLY WISH WITH ALL MY HEART THAT IT DID NOT EXIST
BUT WISHNG IS NOT ENOUGH
WE LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD WHERE NOTHING DOES EXIST
WE CANNOT JUST DISINVENT IT
NOTHING IS NOT COMPREHENSIBLE
NEITHER YOU NOR I HAVE ANY HOPE OF UNDERSTANDING JUST WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT DOES
IT IS HARD TO KNOW IF NOTHING IS ACTUALLY NOTHING
AND THUS DIFFICULT TO KNOW IF A POLICY OF DOING NOTHING IS SUCCESSFUL
NOTHING
HOWEVER EFFECTIVE IT MAY HAVE PROVED UP TO THE PRESENT CAN HARDLY CONTINUE TO DO SO INDEFINITELY
IF I HAD TO CHOOSE
BETWEEN THE CONTINUED POSSIBILITY OF NOTHING HAPPENING
AND OF DOING NOTHING
I WOULD UNQUESTIONABLY CHOOSE THE LATTER
OR THE FORMER
