Empty Set

A={xeveryone}

AΠB=AØ

It occurred to me in math class that one thing binds us all together. The very cement of our existence... Nothing.

Nothing is everywhere, in every nook and cranny. It dogs us. It consumess us. It drives us MAD!

If you are a glass half full person, the emptinesss of your glass is nothing. If you are a glass half empty person, there is nothing in half your glass.

Nothing can fill your insides, and when it does you have nothing to lose and nothing to live for. Maybe you feel like you are good for nothing.

Nothing is real. You can possess nothing. If you lose everything, you find that you have an abundance of nothing. You can give nothing as a Christmas or birthday gift, doing so normally gets more notice than giving the best money can buy, which can buy you nothing.

You can make nothing. You can earn nothing. You can be worth your weight in nothing.

You can do nothing too. You can say nothing, hear nothing, see nothing, smell, taste and feel nothing. You can think about nothing, too.

Nothing truly is everywhere. Name one other thing that be quantified without being measured.

I have nothing else to say.

Love may be quantified without being measured- and it ain't nothing. If nothing connects us, we are not connected.

You may come up with some of the most off the wall subjects. And no matter how odd they are, you tend to make good points about them. Your sayings have always made me wonder. As far as "nothing" connecting us together, in a sense, you are right. In another, Kate is. Nothing physically connects us or contrains us together. Love or feelings in general, connect us, or bind us together. However, these ties can be broken, so in essense, we are not totally connected. Love, I don't think can be measured, but I'd have to say it is hard to quantify as well. Great post.
