Nothing

Nothing is a state of non-existence of something/ some feeling/ some one. now there are two ways to look at nothingness, One is that natural state of things is that things/ feelings are not there, hence the nothingness. Another though process could be that because something happened that things ceased to exist, hence the nothingness. You cant always control state of existence of things/ feelings/ people in your life, but what you can control is the way you perceive their existence, now let me quote something we all have heard:

"We can complain that roses have thorns, or rejoice that thorns have roses."

Stereotypes: Do the justice

Stereotypes are negatively thought of which is just unjust.
Stereotypes have a broader meaning than what commonly we accede to.
Let me reiterate it's meaning: stereotype roughly means that some features supposedly true of central examples of the class, apply to all its members. Stereotypes have been a victim of very haughty political and social debates and discussions. But we must give it credit for what an indispensable tool it is, we use on daily basis. World would have been a lot difficult had we not relied, and that too heavily, on the stereotype for our processing of most of the data that our senses bombard us with. Had stereotyping been absent, we would have been analyzing every situation in our working memory (time complexity of higher order) rather than just having pointers (time complexity of zero order). Pointers are formed by brain over time (experience). Hence we should use stereotype but at the same time we should be aware that we are using one, for then we would know the limitations of our processing and strength of conclusions that we draw.
