A massive star burns, shines, and eventually collapses into itself. That is where nothingness begins. Nothing, not even light, can escape it. Any form of existence entering it will be torn apart! To me, this is very much like the death of a human being, although we can imagine that our existence continues in some other form after death. But who truly knows!? Perhaps death, like a black hole, is absolute nothingness! It is a bitter thought, yet it reveals the value of life.
