If nothing is something, and everything is something, does that meant that everything is nothing or nothing is everything?
lol I already have my answer for that but I want to see what yours is.

Neither
S=Something, N=Nothing, E=Everything
All N are S
All E are S
Nothing follows about the relation of N to E.

Your premise equates "meaning" with permanence. Not a good premise. The most meaningful conditions in life are temporary. "Temporary" is what makes any experience or condition unique and exceptional, and therefore meaningful. Experiences and conditions would be far more meaningless if they existed permanently. As boring as having the same car for ones entire life, or a song that never stops, ever. Re: your note - my point exactly - everlasting fulfillment is a conflict of terms . . . nothing everlasting provides fulfillment, only stagnant safety. Only pursuit and appreciation of the unique because it is temporary brings fulfillment. Don't confuse short-term gratification for "spiritual" solice and fulfillment.

The word 'is' does not completely equate words, and nothing is not something anyway.
