Absolute Quote by Dejan Stojanovic
““The necessity of nothingness does not create anything. The real value and meaning of the Being are not in its necessity but in its very existence. If it did not exist, necessity would neither help nor create it. If the Being exists, and it does, it is pointless and redundant to insist on its necessity. The necessity of itself, without the Being, is nothing. The main point is if there is a Being, not if it is necessary. (What is) obvious need not be proved. Explanation of the Being and the creation or the existence of the world is not in its necessity but its existence. The Being is unborn and always existed regardless of being necessary or unnecessary.””
About This Quote

In simple terms: Being matters more than necessity.
