Phew! Too heavy for me.
I think I'm suffering from pintlessness.
Good-oh, there's beer in the fridge.

What do you mean by "being" and "nothingness"? Why think that being and nothingness are necessarily dichotomous? Why not choose both?

The notion of nothingness cannot be conceived at all without a high realisation of one being, for nothingness is nothing but a being realised through total reflective thoughts; nothingness would be nothing, or no conception of anything at all, if it were not for the possibilities in being that I perpetually consider. What are these possibilities that I have in being? Imagine that there are numerous arbitrary forms in existence known as beings and collectively known as just being; these can articles of most common in nature like plants, animals, and things. All beings in nature are but forms in existence with only one common essence.
Each of these forms is distinct and peculiar and can only be defined or know with respect to other beings: if, for example, I am person than I would only be able to know myself through a sequence of constant comparisons with other beings in existence, who are not only people but also other things in my world. The ideas of myself being me is only possible through processes of extraction of information about me when I interact with things, all seamlessly put together to give me a consistent, coherent and practical idea of myself. All beings including myself are inspired by other beings for their form in existence, but the all beings are but one in essence that we all aspire to experience.
As I said that beings are expressed in existence as various peculiar forms like a lion, or a goat, or a bird, and that they all have one common essence in existence. But all human beings have all other beings as possibilities. For example I can imagine possibilities of myself being a bird, or a star, or even another person. This is the way I aspire, wish and dream about essence and make my essential realisation possible for a unique formative point of view; I like to be more than what I am, and in my being I like to find all other beings, and when find divided things into groups of what I like and what I dislike – knowledge of good and bad. The contemplation of nothingness is the peak of contemplation of being, for when I stand at the mouth of a gaping abyss and peek into the view of nothingness it has to offer, I value my life most, I realise my being in contrast to a possibility of being nothing if I fall into the gap.
Nothingness is a possibility in existence about being that we most sparingly consider, and which incorporates in itself all other possibilities that I perceive in existence. And where I consider being other things that, that I eventually become by knowing, I consider nothingness only by wondering - what could that be?

I'm not sure being is even real.
Nothingness just makes more sense.

Neither... why not just accept and observe the experience for what it is?
