Does something always come from something or does something come from nothing?
Let me ask:
If everything is removed, what remains?
Observe what your mind does.
It imagines empty space.
Or darkness.
Or a vast void.
Is that something?
Or nothing?
Science goes as far
as its instruments can see.
Then new questions appear,
demanding new instruments.
So the mystery remains.
Philosophy asks:
If nothing exists,
then “nothing” somehow exists.
If the universe expands into nothingness,
is that really nothing?
Or has thought already turned it into something?
If something always existed,
what is its source?
If reality began,
what was before the beginning?
If there was no before,
what does “beginning” mean?
Every answer
gives birth to more questions.
Every conclusion
opens another door.
There is another path.
Not answering.
Not concluding.
Not choosing between
something and nothing.
Simply observing
the movement of thought itself.
Then one sees:
“Something” is an idea.
“Nothing” is an idea.
Every answer is an idea.
Every question is born from an idea.
Thought moves
from idea to idea.
In that seeing,
What remains
is neither something
nor nothing.
What remains
is the majestic unknown.
The unknowable.
Not to be answered.
Only to be lived.
