A Lot of Nothing

There is nothing so stupid as the person who thinks that he’s so smart There is nothing so ugly as an unpainted piece of art There is nothing so worthless as the money that we hoard There is nothing so boring as the people who say that they are bored There is nothing so tasteless as the food left upon our plate There is nothing so wasted as a mind that’s full of hate There is nothing so dark as a light that will not shine There is nothing so senseless as to injustices being blind There is nothing so pitiful as a self-pitying fool There is nothing so empty as a prison that is full There is nothing so sad as a world that cannot love There is nothing said here that we cannot rise above

This is very true and cleverly written.. I like the format too.. my favourite line..."there is nothing so pitiful as a self-pitying fool..." two meanings here.. we have a comfort zone in this place... and we have a real diagnostic mental illness here too. Nice write xx
