Nothingness not being nothing, nothingness being emptiness.

Meaning of the quote

The quote suggests that "nothingness" is not truly "nothing" - it is actually a kind of emptiness. In other words, even when there seems to be nothing, there is still a kind of emptiness or space present. The idea is that even when we think something is completely empty, there is still a form of existence or presence, even if it's not what we typically consider "something."
