It and the middle of no where.

How far away is it if you are standing in the middle of no where ?

First, a couple things need to be addressed prior to any reasonable formulation of coherent and positive forward moving deductive processes begin.

1- What is it ? Is it something we can lay our hands on ? A place we can go ? Is it something not quite so "real" but something for which one might strive for such as a goal? Maybe a state of mental and emotional well being or any other "places" which we as individuals would desire to eventually attain.

2-Where is no where ? If it really is no where then can it actually be any where at all ? If not then no where cannot be any where because no where could be used as a defining and descriptive location for where we are. That in turn in relalation to where we find ourselves when we achieve "It".

Theory one----If no where doesn't exist at all how can we have placed ourselves in the middle of it? To have placed ourselves in the middle of no where means that it must have substance or space, otherwise how could it support us in the middle of it. Unless we also are comprised of the same stuff that makes for nothing. Stuff, (to be debated in a later post,...maybe). I suppose tho that one could present themselves to be in the middle of a great void, and that could be no where. Although, a void is said to be someplace de'void of stuff, completely lacking in substance. This brings to thought that this void must be located somewhere in the middle of or contained within stuff or substance itself, thereby gaining unto itself some measure of substance being the place where stuff isn't. Could we by finding where no where is then give some attainability to the seeking of "It"?

It was in the void. Were it not for you I'd have never known the comment void even existed. Thx
