There's so much everything that there's nothing.

We cannot at once be annihilated and remain alive; thus we cannot experience nothing in its infinite emptiness. Even approaching the experience of nothing is possible if we imagine our own destruction. In this way we arrive at surrender, usually the religious, after‑life devotion. All this has rich content, provided that we fully grasp it conceptually, whether or not we take the painful, life‑draining aspect, or the dusting, asceticism and detachment from the world; we experience the ethereal in them, regardless of the fact that such a semi‑death is also painful.

From nothing – to nothing

The notion of death signifies immersion in the infinite, the eternal darkness that stands out from several circumstances.

From the artistic representations of death, the ways which ostensibly highlight the motifs of infinity and eternal darkness, as well as from how some envisage the death‑afterstate as a blessed peace, serenity and freedom from turmoil.

This reassurance, this "gentle smile," may only be the disappointment of joy, for no practical instinct of life can bring about the sacrifice of the greatest joy: to lack the small joys, or to flee from such great pains to the greatest pain, to death.

… the experience of nothing, even the painful ones such as renunciation and religious devotion, we go through it. We surrender ourselves to even the accompanying pain that comes from weakness. The self‑sustaining withdrawal of life has therefore fallen silent in us for two reasons.
