PERSONAL DEFINITION:
 I think that it the word NOTHING pretty much says it in it's name.
 NO-THING
The word nothing can be quite confusing though, because if there IS nothing, then sinse it IS then it can BE, and if it can BE, then nothing really isn't nothing, it's something, but if nothing is something, then is there no such thing as nothing? Or maybe it's the other way around and there is no such thing as anything?
But maybe nothing is just a non existant word in itself, and when we say it, we're not really saying anything at all, because we're saying nothing!
Or maybe it's just a word that represents ZERO, but if it represents it, than it must be SOMETHING, but it can't be something if it's nothing!
Rather confusing, but cool! In my opinian. :)
