Why is there something rather than nothing

[Carl-Richard]

Ask why you ask "why" and realize asking why is the issue.

Why?

To who or to what is everything meaningless?

"Why?"

It's explained in the sentence before that: "as you are part of Wholeness, you can't stand outside of Wholeness and ask why about Wholeness." As you are one with Wholeness, you can't stand separate from it to assign it a meaning. Therefore, it is meaningless.

"To who or to what is everything meaningless?"

To no one. Wholeness is just meaningless, perceived by no one or thing, which could assign it any meaning.

Something rather than nothing is a duality.

Yes, but this just evades the question. It doesn't answer it.

Non-duality is a great system of thinking in many areas. But it shouldn't be used to bypass deeply existential and philosophical questions.

Something is clearly happening. It's not nothing.

Is curiosity an issue?
