Zero, nothing & everything - The equation

Post by Doreen Peri » November 16th, 2014, 6:53 pm

You are a zero. A non-entity not worthy of breathing.
A nothing. A seething leach, your existence meant only
to teach others what bubbles and simmers from the brew
only you know you're cooking up. This is not the result
of the foam that spews from your lips. There are no tricks
to this truth, no lies. You are despised by most all who meet you
and I am here to greet you with the equation, mathematically.

Zero equals nil. Nil equals nothing. Zilch times nil has had its
fill with you and true to form, you embrace it like the nobody
you are. Catch a falling star make a wish! It won't do you any good
no matter how much you insist it will. Nada is nada. Look in the mirror
and weep. How do you even keep on going? You are a lie, a deceit,
a completely invisible being.

How would like that said to you? Zero times nada is zip. Are you
well-equipped to handle this type of talk? No? Then walk
away from it as far as you can walk and when you're done, RUN!

Here's an equation you can have some fun with. Infinity times zero
is STILL zero. But infinity times one? Now that number could go on
forever so whether you want to believe it or not, is up to you. But it's
true that you are ONE and the only one of you and there are infinite
possibilities. Love in abundance is the nitty gritty goal. Hold onto
your soul and don't let people demean you.
Yes, I mean you. And you and you and you.
You are no zero! You are everything!
Let's make music and sing your worth.
You've owned it since birth.

I like two zeros hooked together... the symbol for infinity. Also... the 8.

sometimes no matter what formula we use, it doesn't add up, but sometimes we need to throw the old theories out the window...embrace a fresh paradigm ....walk away from the the status quo...i agree, lets make music
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
