THE ZERO THEORY

Nothing is valueless; it is first in our perception. We view items as we perceive them to be. The number zero has been given no value in society, even the grandest of scholars sees this oval wonder as ‘Nothingness’; but what if zero was not added to one would we ever have ten? Or to nine, would we ever have ninety? It means zero itself has value, although hidden, its value elevates the single to a platform of relevance. The more we add zero, the more we add value to whatsoever it is attached to. Like latent heat, its influence might not be seen, but it boils and evaporates water. That influence that can change a state from one level to another—from one form to another.

I’d like to think of when God called out from nothing, the earth there was nothing but that nothing had potential to birth what we see today. He did not create the fishes as you may think; he just called it out from the water. All this while, who knew H₂O had in it capacity for fishes; what about the air? He called forth birds from it and the soil? The same thing with plants—he obviously saw the potential we couldn’t see and called it from what appeared to be nothing.

God made everything intricately and endowed with value unimaginable just like zero but we almost cannot recognize its value. What if we changed our perception? Saw through another eye? Saw that without zero the number line would be incomplete? Zero has all the power one has and all the power nine has, it is just that the world sees zero as insignificant. Teachers score us zero to show we have nothing, but if you ask me, we have value that they don’t just know how to find; we have a mind that has been untapped and that zero cries out to us our very own teachers with its hollow mouth saying, “I have something in my hole, look deep and howl, what a wonder is in this soul”

Zero only shows what how loaded, crude, undiscovered we are. So, when next you see a zero, think to yourself and say “there is a part of me I need to uncover” say, “I am as powerful as zero, as untouched but still powerful. If you have nothing in your hands today, it means there is space to have something in those hands.

Every little action we take reflects on the big screen. Every little detail makes up the whole frame. How would you have oceans without drops or molecules that did not coalesce to settle? We can make change happen one ‘zero’ at a time…

But what would the world look like with a bunch of zeros? It will be undiscovered, archaic, dormant, and untapped. Imagine a world with a lot of dormant minds? Imagine that the waters did not give up its fishes? Imagine Einstein did not give up the equation E=MC², what if Newton remained pristine and as lowly as he was made—never pushed, never thought—just the same way he was born looking at all the potential In himself? Imagine if we did not reach to explore the untapped potentials made?

So, here is the drill, zero is just an indicator of how powerful you are; your job is to show it, bring it to the fore. Like I said, when next you see a zero on that score sheet, or life gives you some sort of fail, just know it is saying to you “you have so much in you but we cannot see it”.

Reach, explore, create, maintain—zero has a value, and so do you!
