Nothing

Do you know that it is really hard trying to do nothing?
Especially in times where being active is the norm and action is always emphasized.

To listen to a sentence, "there's nothing you can do," is really heart-breaking. There's always something that I can do, so I say (or think).

To see the empty dates in my planner, I'm happy, not because I don't need to do anything, but because I will be able to do something else.

What are you up to?
Oh, nothing much. (Something IS going on, still)

Why are you smiling?
Uhm, nothing. (There's something happening)

NOTHING.
Well, there are letters there.

Okay, rather than I'm being frustrated thinking about this particular word, I will just give you a question. "Teka-teki," Indonesian language says.
It's greater than God and more evil than the Devil.
The rich want it and the poor have it.
If you don't eat it, you will die.
