What's the Will becoming, Veeky Forums?
Being or non-being?
If the Will's becoming being then it means that the Will doesn't exist and wants to be.
If the Will's becoming non-being then it means that the Will exists and wants not to be.
I know nothing because I can't answer that question.

It's funny, as I was watching my friend play a video game the other day, an idea came to me. Watching him play this game, and being so devoutly interested in everything he did or saw in the game, I was astounded by how bad the game was. The setting, locations, interactions with characters; none of it was plausible or very resembling of reality. Yet he said the game was great for its immersion. Now the only thing that had remained which was in anyway immersive to me was the very sharp, clear, and well lighted graphics of the game. The frame rate was high and everything rendered fluidly onto screen and into sight when approached and studied. So in that sense, yes it was very immersive. Witnessing this was when the idea found me. Because, I realized, just because the game looked great for my friend it was enough to allow him to lose himself within it. This had me then thinking on the nature of being. My friend had looked into a few aspects about the game until he found that the good graphics and play style of the game was all he needed to lose himself in the game and enjoy his experience. And is that not much like our very own existence? See, that is what watching him made me ask myself. The extent of his enjoyment from the game was simply those very two solid footholds that he could put himself onto. Just the two. Yet, when I came to think about the nature of my very own existence, I found that I could only find one. And far beyond all and everything in the world, the one thing that I found I had to confirm my being is the fact that I am. Everything beyond that, I realized, was an afterthought. Literally. Those two solid footholds he had are two very nonexistent forms of stimulant to another who does not even know of the existence of video games. Yet those two footholds were enough to take his mind away and bring him into existence. And it was there I found the answer to your question. There is no will to be. Only being. Will to be comes only after being, not before it. It is a product of your being.
Or... you know, your friend is a plebeian whose low standards are just easier to satisfy.
>There is no will to be. Only being.
The will is the will.
No, in that sense, will would be being. Being is being. Will is the will to be.
Sorry, let me rephrase. I meant:
>No, in that sense, will would be being. Being is being. Will is the will to be or* the will not to be. Since it may be more than one form of being, it is an extension of being by nature.
What is, is. What is not, is not.
Ask yourself, does the will exist during its constant process of change and becoming?
>What is, is. What is, is not.
You've already contradicted yourself. Tell of any time where you had already been or became before being? Tell of any time while being that you became anything else? Then tell me, if you can even answer, would those moments not have just been footholds for your being? Alternating will is a byproduct of being. It flows from being, not the other way.
