something and nothing

Something is better than nothing but nothing is not better than something.

Re: something and nothing

Brahadaranyaka Upanishad on creation:
“ apart from Chandogya and Koutaki—UDDALAKA AND SWETHAKETHU FATHER AND SON CONVERSATION-

“nothing could have come from nothing;
non-being cannot produce being,
much less so could consciousness come out of nothing”.

Udhalaka, in his dialogue with his son, referred to two important concepts,
one being that “out of nothing can come only nothing”. The other concept
was that the life of all living beings is cyclical (birth and death), meaning that
the seeds germinate and develop into adult plants, which in turn mature,
producing seeds again, and eventually the plants die
(Gita –chapter 2, verse 27: All living beings are bound in the cycle of birth
and death).
This view has also been vividly reflected in the Gita
(Chapter 9, verses 8, 10).

I have recollected tmy earlier readings. Thanks for the posting.
