Nothing is everything.

[Cinjin]

This is why I don't get too heavily into Philosophy. No Offense.

Anyone (and I really mean EVERYone has) can take a cliche and turn it into some "deep intellectual philosophy" by reversing the pro and the con of said-cliche and than tacking it onto the end just to hear people say, "wow, you're right that's soooo thought provoking." When in reality it really isn't - it's just masturbatory musings for those who gain gratification by making others believe that they are of a higher station and intellect.

Examples:
Sometimes when you win you really lose and sometimes when you lose you really win.
The absence of all things is the aquiring of all things.
To gain wisdom you must first know that you are a fool.
To know great love you must first understand great pain for great pain is found in ultimate love.

BLAH BLAH BLAH ... There's thousands of these stupid things and all the rediculous math calculations in the world will not give them any more meaning than what the persons hearing it reads into it. What's even better is that because these little philosophical ramblings cannot ever be truly defined - the author or speaker can claim at any point that your are inferior and do not have it within your mind to comprehend existencialisms.

and that's my problem with philosophy ... it never offers conclusions, and most often it only raises absurdities that can never be answered because in truth, the were never meant to be answered.
