Nothing is an emotion as well.
I feel nothing is one of the rallying cries that those who like to pass the switchblade between their the skin and their blood. Curiosly enough this argument is used to explain the lack thereby of emotions hence the need to inflect pain to feel "something".
Yet the very phrase runs contrary to all logic. For at the very moment one uses the verb feel one can not escape its connotations that one is feeling something albeit one feels but that one feels is nothing.
The feeling can best be described as an empty feeling where one is cold and the sensation that something is absent is patently clear and palpable as well since one, once again, is feeling "nothing".
Just as well, the internet seems to be overwhelmed with people that feel nothing. In a search done today at 11:13 Mexico City time a search for the phrase "I feel nothing" gave the following results:
Results 1 - 10 of about 9,560,000 for I feel nothing. (0.12 seconds)
For the phrase "feeling nothing" the results were less:
Results 1 - 10 of about 5,180,000 for feeling nothing. (0.17 seconds)
One can indeed come to the safe conclusion that feeling nothing is a widespread emotion in this world we call ours, at the very least in the english spoken one.
