    Being is a state, Nothing is a state.

    Being (something) and (being) Nothing are opposites.

    Yet Becoming requires you to go from Nothing to something, or stop Being something to introduce enough Nothing to become something new.

    Long time since I read Hegel though, might be hogwash.

      Why not just becoming something from a state of something else…nothing is not really required for becoming.

        It’s probably said from the point, that something that was, theough changes, becomes less that. So, more nothing, in a way.
        But really, I love philosophyzing, but I’m not calling it a job. It’s like a monk is just sitting there chilling, but if you confront him about not working, he will answer: “bitch, it took me years to learn chilling that hard!”
