How can 'nothing' exist?

[abdullahnajjar2005]

Descartes said "I think, therefore I am". He believed tat he could doubt many things but the fact that he was a thinking being meant that he must exist. Philosophy can get lost in the connotations and the meanings of words. Language is a prison cell that locks us away from the "real" world, but it does have windows, even if they are bared. We can see through these windows but can say very little about what we see, for to do so is to use language, and, therefore, falsify our perceptions of what we perceive. Language is a trap, philosophy falls into. When you close your eyes, do you see nothing?
