If there arises the question "Why is there Anything at all?" always a simple game of language and logic pops into my mind: "At the beginning there is nothing, but because 'nothing' also includes 'not nothing' there is 'something'. Because in the 'nothingness' there is also the negation of 'not something' there is just 'anything'.

Of course this all arises at the same moment, because these 'entities' depend each other.

Happy Seasons Greetings,
