Meaning of “Non-existence”: In mathematics, the number “0 (zero)” can signify both “does not exist” and the transition of a filled unit to a higher one in the decimal system. The first meaning is connected to ontology, while the second explains how, when one decimal unit is full, the total shifts to the next unit, and a zero indicates this shift. In this system, zero marks that the next higher unit is present. Philosophically, the concept of “nothing” is viewed in the West as “non-existence,” but in the East, it can signify a transformation to the next level after being filled. So don’t be discouraged if you don’t have anything. Your “disappointment” also comes from the fact that other areas have already been filled. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Identifying my existence prompts the question: how can I prove it? We can define existence in biological terms, but first, we must approach it philosophically. This is achieved through the concept of a “statement.” The expressions “I am OO” or “you are OO” serve as philosophical assertions rather than scientific proof. If we dismiss the significance and authority of these statements, we encounter numerous problems and discomfort, as they lead me to doubt everyone I encounter. Statements are the fundamental components of a narrative. They delineate existence, with definitions articulated through sentences that create the story’s context. This entire framework is referred to as a “narrative.” - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
