The unsolved mysteries and the answers i don't have

A few days ago, I went to a field near my home. I sat down in the middle of the field, on the green grass. I meditated for a while and watched some kids playing football. Afterward, I returned home, took a bath, and everything seemed fine.

However, a few days later, I started experiencing intense itching on my hands and legs that I couldn't control. I ended up scratching those areas, and soon, red spots appeared where I had scratched. It occurred to me that this might have happened because the field is frequented by animals like cows and pigs.

This left me feeling even more perplexed. I was simply looking for a peaceful place to sit, think, and relax. But now, I'm plagued by the fear that I must be cautious about where I go, ensuring that the place is clean and uncontaminated. It makes me wonder, where can I actually go? Isn't this a concern with nearly every place we visit?

Threats don't announce their arrival. I could go to a well-furnished and sanitized cafe and still encounter a sick person who sneezes, leading to me getting sick. So, how much can I protect myself, and where can I truly go?

This situation made me ponder if there exists a place that's truly empty, devoid of any life — no birds, animals, humans, plants, absolutely nothing. Is there such a place? I'm curious about what we really mean when we use the word " nothing."

How much do we exclude when we say "nothing"? What are all the things that aren't part of "nothing," or perhaps, what gets stripped away from it? I don't have the answers; it's a mystery.

And this contemplation has led me to another question: What exactly do we mean when we say "everything"? How far does it extend, and where does it draw the line?

I suspect that there must be something left out when we talk about "everything," and something included when we refer to "nothing." Or is it the other way around? I'm not certain, but I find myself pondering these questions.

I think I need some rest. Perhaps I'll take a nap and continue wondering about the meanings of these words and concepts.
