When faced on questions of nothingness one must ask if meaning had been supposed. In light of this, even the greatest of disgraces can be weathered, the greatest of heartaches can be understood.
Must one question the implication of nothingness? Surely, you understand. It is something always present and only uncovered, to be learned time and time again.
If nothingness breaks your heart, you have presumed that it was not nothing from the start. It is a matter of expectation, one which could have never been true.
