Existence, is there an opposite to that word? I mean I guess you can say death on a certain degree, but even when you die you are still on some level of existence. It's impossible to even think about something that simply doesn't or can't exist because having that thought already puts it into existence in a mental state of observation. But why does anything exist? You can go through different philosophical and enlightening paths to slowly piece your answer, but every direction you go from where you start off from that question you arrive at point where you have to start all over again. There can't be anything that doesn't exist, it just hasn't entered your presence.

Has everything that existed, always existed as one whole? Or is existence still growing and adding on? (but is that just displacement from time?)
