Let me translate your words to how I would have said it, Michael: Nothing is not a separate entity, for it fits in within everything. All by itself, Nothing cannot be placed next to everything for it needs everything to exist in the first place.
And you have an excellent point there too, when stating that Nothing may function just like money; money is not something we can eat, drink or enjoy for company and expect the communication to be anything more than an exchange of gloats. Money smooths the way we behave towards one and another, but it can lose its meaning too, for what is the value of money when you make a billion dollars a year (as some people do), and what is the value of money when lacking it (as many more people do) while living in a society that literally flows over from abundancy in so many ways? Money should not be supervaluable (when you don't have it) and close to worthless (when you have a hundred thousand times more of it than what you need).
P.S. Thank you Austintorn for the picture!
