0


0, O, o, nothing, nada, zero. Is there really ever nothing? I believe there is always something, even nothing is something, space will fill a void, space is something even if it is technically nothing. Confused? I am, it's like the chicken and the egg issue!

So how do I show 0? I thought long and hard about it, it always led me back to the element of subtraction, removal, taking away. I am one of those people that can not leave a beach or other natural area without claiming a piece for myself, resulting in jars and boxes full of shell, pebble, and driftwood fragments, pinecones and other such treasures. They look beautiful perched on mantel pieces and sitting by the fire, even so, they have no purpose other than to remind me of the claim I made the day they were removed from their environment. I know I am not alone in this commandeering of nature nonetheless if we continue, will nature eventually stop filling the voids we leave behind?
