Since as some believe it all come from nowhere and nothing, what is the big difference if it goes back to nothing and nowhere?

+BrotherXification This is nihilism, not insight. The source of nonbeing is not a trick to relieve us of responsibility, it's a tool to free us from detachment. Detachment is not a pass, it's a state of mind that allows to identify and maintain the sacred. Without maintenance even the sacred can disappear from view, and in your view nothing is sacred. That is not what nothing is, or is about.

+Michael O'Keefe I think it is more a psychological tool to free us from attachment. How are you freed from detachment? Detachment is a pass. If I am not attached, I am independent and owe you nothing. If we are attached, then we have to consider our dependence and responsibility. Most philosophies seem to have as their main goal, relieving us of dependence and responsibility. Of course that is a generalization. But anyone aware of our universe's cosmology would know eventually that the physical world as we know it is all going up in smoke in our Sun's supernova. What will it all mean then?

Nothing is not psychological. Detachment is no more free than attached. It is just detached. Freeing oneself, and freeing oneself from detachment is important, but not as important as detaching in the first place. Anyone who can do that can free themselves from it in a heartbeat.

Mr. Young should not be so critical of something he knows very little about.
