Question

What came first Existence or Impermanency/change?

Answer 1

One could argue that Existence is an illusion.  The only thing that's real is change.

Answer 2

Impermanence or change only applies when something exist. Nothing changes without that which exist. Even impermanence or change exist. And they must exist in order to effect. Nothingness does not exist; it only exist in the dictionary. Eversince, there exist; there never was non-existence. It's not a question of what came first; it's a question of what there is.

Answer 3

Existence comes first because you cannot apply any predicate e.g. impermanency to nothingness. It was Kant who first argued that existence is not a predicate but instead must be a prior condition of all other predicates.

Answer 4

They are two pages from the same book...

Answer 5

It is. I am. You are. We are.

It changes. I change. You change. We change.

Answer 6

If a tree falls in the woods...



Thinking about it a short ways, I would have to deduce that if nonexistence were possible and if that was the default state before anything were existent, then that state would have changed at some point. Making change predate existence.
