Why is it that human consciousness is incapable of fully contemplating and understanding two fairly elementary concepts: nothingness and the infinite? Why must everything somehow be quantified? Ask someone to imagine nothingness or to describe what it is like and they will spout off words like "darkness, blackness, emptiness" when it is so obvious that the true answer is nothing at all. Though describing it in such words is a misnomer as nothingness is not something within the human relm of description much the same as the unendingness of infinity.
We are then left as fractured beings existing in the infinitely vast nothingness that remains between nothingness and infinity.
We cannot properly touch upon either because of the fractures that lie inherent in our being; our mortality forbids it. It is the area of the everlasting and the nonexistant; only they can grasp what it is to be infinite or nothingness, and even then, they cannot grasp both at once.
What is sought but to hold everything and nothing at all.
You are 99.999999..% nothing.
But within that nothing contains everything that exists in the universe and infinite worlds beyond human comprehension or imagination.
