Nihil Novi
.
At a recent dinner conversation, we raised so inconsequential that they are the achievements of the human ego. The absurd conceit that often drag these alleged accomplishments prevent us from living with the simplicity required to reach the deep understanding of ourselves.
Considering that in the end, everything to give importance to our personality in this life will disappear and question of what actually will be, we often planteárnosla when faced with a "memento mori", either in themselves or in that of a being known or wanted.

And as it posed as Hamlet holding the skull of which had previously been the court jester, most of us also sketch it usually passes through a cemetery and, especially, when you run across a headstone like this:

NIHIL (Here lies dust, ashes, nothing)

NIHIL (Here lies dust, ashes, nothing)

A few words allude to the ephemeral nature of life, the disintegration of matter and the lack of identity.
.
Pondering about it, remember that in the Romanesque church of San Pedro in Grado del Pico (Segovia)-temple which has some of the finest rural-carved, we came to know how ironic chance, something that should remind us who we really are.
.
Apparently, like most other Romanesque buildings, the original appearance of the temple has been modified over time. We just have to see the bottom of the wall to see that in the centuries after its removal the wall has been fully "repaired" and for that, "as was commonly, blocks or slabs were reused from other nearby structures.
.
Probably one of these we have in the small block that is cut on the right edge of the door and leaving visible the inscription NIHIL (Niiler) word by itself reminds us that we are not the benevolence of the creator. Nothing.
.
Undoubtedly, the syncopated Niiler Pico Grade will be a "nihil" nominal, but probably not the passage of "someone" in pursuit of something, but the uncertainty of "nothing".
While certainly nothing new discovery, because as the wise repeated phrase from Ecclesiastes consistently in all periods since the Middle Ages: NIL NOVUM SUB SOLE . - " Nothing new under the sun" -.
Meaningless . ... NJIL, no nothing.
