Summary/Abstract: The aim of this essay is to show some ethical and ontological aspects of nothingness, of having the nothingness and the deep conflict between the human`s longing for purpose or meaning of life and the human sublime failure to find any in both outside and inside world. Through the prism of some existential ideas I would try to provide a kind of a metaphorical explanation of where we are when we are “nowhere” and why it is such an important subjective part of our moral experience as human beings. The writings of the philosophers like Heidegger and Sartre are deeply absorbed with feelings of emptiness, purposelessness but also with something like freedom. The main idea of the following text is to restore our relation with the time here and now, pointing out the positive sides eidher at the darkest corners of our minds, or where we are not.
