In this Supreme Comedy EVERYTHING plays hide and seek with Nothings.

EVERYTHING is the unfathomable JOY of dreamless-sleep.
Nothings are thoughts, like mind, ego and its body and universe.

For this Supreme Comedy these Nothings chase each other around looking for the EVERYTHING they cannot be because they are Nothings, thoughts.

And this Supreme Comedy is mostly too surreal for laughter
But only until the final Nothing, thought,
That is the lethal-laughter called death
That makes this Supreme Comedy into life.

-- just thoughts

Everything is nothing, and all nothings are nothing.

The Supreme Comedy described in this content is a thought-provoking and philosophical concept. It portrays the constant struggle between EVERYTHING and Nothings in life. EVERYTHING represents the pure state of joy and contentment, while Nothings symbolize the endless thoughts and distractions that prevent us from experiencing true happiness.

The idea of EVERYTHING playing hide and seek with Nothings is a metaphor for how we often search for fulfillment and meaning in life, but are constantly bombarded by thoughts and external influences that distract us from our true purpose.

The mention of dreamless-sleep as the unfathomable JOY suggests that true happiness and contentment can be found in moments of stillness and peace, where our thoughts and ego are quieted.

The final Nothing, thought, being referred to as the "lethal-laughter called death" is a reminder that in the end, all of our thoughts and distractions will cease to exist and we will be faced with the ultimate truth of our existence.

Overall, this Supreme Comedy presents a thought-provoking perspective on the constant battle between the pure state of joy and the endless distractions of our thoughts and ego in life. It serves as a reminder to find moments of stillness and to not get lost in the chaos of our thoughts, as ultimately, death will bring an end to it all.
