paradoxes? existance?

OMG, UNIVERSAL NIHILISM IS TRUE !

found an interesting argument in school today. in summary, it is about paradoxes and paradoxes are actually conflicting and contradicting conclusions depite the same logical reasoning.

what i found interesting was about Universal Nilhilism. nihilism means the belief of non-existance. for something to exist, it must have a duration before we can judge its morality, such as the existance of unicorns, it does not exist as there is no records of its duration on earth.

The past and the future do not exist; they are not there, in the world. Perhaps the past once existed, and perhaps its effects can still be seen in the world today, but the past doesn’t exist now; if it exists now, then where is it? And perhaps the future will exist one day, but it doesn’t exist yet; again, if it exists now, then where is it? The past and the future clearly do not exist; the universe consists only of the gap between them, the present.

how large then, it the gap between the past and the future?

If its beginning were present then its middle and end would be future. If its middle were present, then its beginning would be past and its end would be future. If its end were present then its beginning and middle would be past.

The present, then, has no duration; there is no gap between the past and the future. It has already been seen, though, that to say that something has no duration is to say that it does not exist. The present, then, like the past and the future, does not exist.

If there is neither past, nor present, nor future, though, then what is there? Nothing. Nothing exists at all. Universal nihilism is true.

does anyone even understand what i am sayng here??? oh well, forget it.

love,
