Without nothing you can't have something, because they're the yin-yang. The nothing, the absence like someone mentioned, like the nothingness of space, but without that nothingness of space, matter couldn't exist, without nothingness everything would be matter and you wouldn't be able to see the beginning and end of something. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the origin of the Buddhist concept of reincarnation comes from the idea that, if we came from nothing, the nothingness before we were born, and when we die we go to that same nothingness, what happened once (being born), can happen again.

First, what's dead to us? Why do we wonder about death? Why are we fascinated about it? Is one, or the most asked question of all. What is comes after death? We're curious about the unknown. Now let's eliminate human conventions and morals. What do you call someone that takes a step into the unknown? You call it bravery, you call it courage. I call those who commit suicide death adventurous. I don't know what lead to there decision, but is never easy to trust yourself in the unknown, it takes courage.

You shouldn't really think much about money. You need money to live, that's arguably correct, but that's not really the goal to be a philosopher. Many, not to say most poets have other jobs. There's a movie from the director Jim Jarmusch called Paterson, about a poet that's a truck driver in the city of Paterson, the city of Williams Carlos Williams, ironically WCW was a doctor, he also made poetry, very successfully. Most NY poets have other jobs, they make poetry in there free time, is something you can conciliate. I don't believe being a philosopher is much different.

I didn't really made an extensive search about the fake news subject. Taking that in consideration, my perspective is that this was a way, corporate media found to put the bad apples in one basket so people, the society, believe that the other basket have good apples. I believe they're all bad apples that shouldn't been eaten, they're all rotten, some more, some less.

Everything exists in contrast with something else. It's the yin-yang, the two sides of the same coin, black implies white, you can't remove one side of a coin or the other side disappears as well. Now, if you're talking about actions, happenings, spontaneity, that's another subject. In terms of existence, nothing exists by itself, there could be no sound without silence. Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself, said the philosopher Alan Watts.
