Now, please think of Nothing.
Very Good.
And now, please think of Something.
Stop.
I did not say think of that much.
You should not think of something long or something short.
Or something round or angular.
Or something blue or green.
Just think of Something.
Without any particulars.
Can you manage that?
Because then you will no longer see a difference
between Nothing and Something.
Do you now understand?
Initially, Something is no more than Nothing.
Or, as Hegel puts it:
Those were the thoughts of God when he created the world.

Up from now, the Radio Philosophy will not appear every Sunday. Instead, we will write it occasionally. Thank you for continuing to read it regularly, even if occasionally.
