On Nothingness

Humans are naturally curious creatures, and we have a strong desire to understand the world around us. This includes understanding the concept of nothingness or non-existence. There are many different ways that we grapple with this concept, and some of the most common include:

Philosophy: Philosophers have been grappling with the concept of nothingness for centuries. Some of the most famous philosophers to have written on this topic include Plato, Aristotle, and Heidegger.

Religion: Many religions have their own beliefs about nothingness or non-existence. For example, some religions believe in an afterlife, while others believe that death is the end of existence.

Art: Artists have also explored the concept of nothingness or non-existence in their work. Some famous examples of this include the paintings of Caspar David Friedrich and the sculptures of Alberto Giacometti.

Literature: Literature is another way that we grapple with the concept of nothingness or non-existence. Some famous examples of this include the novels "The Stranger" by Albert Camus and "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" by Milan Kundera.

Ultimately, the concept of nothingness or non-existence is a complex one that there is no easy answer to. However, by exploring this concept through philosophy, religion, art, and literature, we can gain a better understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

Here are some additional examples of how we grapple with the concept of nothingness or non-existence:

When we experience loss: When we lose someone or something that is important to us, we are forced to confront the reality of nothingness. This can be a very difficult and painful experience, but it can also be an opportunity to learn and grow

When we face death: As we get older, we become more aware of our own mortality. This can be a scary thought, but it can also motivate us to live our lives to the fullest.

When we experience the vastness of the universe: When we look up at the night sky and see the stars, we are reminded of how small and insignificant we are in the grand scheme of things. This can be a humbling experience, but it can also be a source of awe and wonder.

The concept of nothingness or non-existence is a mystery that we may never fully understand. However, by grappling with this concept, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, the world around us, and our place in the universe.

Set in the year 2022, Soylent Green depicts a dystopia , a Malthusian catastrophe that occurs because humanity has failed to pursue sustainable development and has not halted uncontrolled population growth ; New York City 's population is 40,000,000, with more than half of it unemployed. Global warming , air and water pollution have produced a year-round heatwave and a thin, yellow, daytime smog . Food and fuel are scarce resources, because of animal and plant decimation, housing is dilapidated and overcrowded, and widespread government-sponsored euthanasia is encouraged to control and reduce overpopulation. Meat, bread, cheese, fruit, vegetables, and even alcoholic beverages are scarce and extremely expensive; for example, a six- ounce jar of strawberry jam is 150 "Ds" ( US Dollars ). Like the soylent food factories, the farms producing foodstuffs are heavily guarded and off-limits to civilians. For most of the populace, natural foods are a rarely, if ever, enjoy...
