Why would I want to seek nothingness when I can have everything?

You already described the buddhist or whatever version it was of some nirvana in another thread Egan, the guy's image being detroyed by a demon... It seems rather foolish to pursue that wouldn't you say? I have some matches you can try lighting your hair on fire with to see if you enjoy that. Oh but I forgot, the witches are burning but it's different when wives and mothers burn in India, that's holy isn't it? I think 'I'll go eat a steak while you debate.
