Is nothing anything

Answer 1

Anything by definition is all encompassing and as such would include nothing. Nothing, however, is nothing at all and would then necessarily exclude anything. Sort of like an unrequited love, anything endeavors to include nothing in its definition and the cold and uncaring nothing ignores these overtures and excludes anything from its circle of knowledge. Anything can mean everything or it can mean whatever, which is the sort of attitude nothing tends to show towards anything, whatever. Nothing being much more discriminating than anything, can mean not a thing or it can mean something of no consequence. Therefore, nothing is more inclined to acknowledge something than it is to give anything even a passing glance. This is why I like to razz nothing about something singing in a very annoying cadence; Nothing and Something sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G...then I say to Nothing, what's wrong? Invariably nothing answers with; "nothing." Then I say; "Oh come on! It must be something." Then, if nothing could roll its eyes it would as it says; "Shut up about Something, will you? It was one night, for crying out loud. I haven't called once since!" I don't tease anything much about nothing though as anything tends to be too sensitive about such things as nothing.
