being and nothingness

Being and nothingness are philosophical concepts that are often intertwined in existentialist thinking. Being refers to existence, presence, or essence, while nothingness refers to non-being, absence, or emptiness.

The concept highlights the tension between our desire for significance and the ultimate insignificance of our existence in the grand scheme of things.
