Have you ever studied the roots of the word "exist?" > > Ex, meaning "outside of," and sistere meaning "to stand." > > "To stand outside of." If I declare I exist, that I am not "nothing," what do I "stand outside of?" Do we have any accurate terms even for existence?- My collegiate dictionary uses the latin meaning: 'to come into being' as its first explanation of the term. And that makes perfect sense. I stand within my reality as well as outside of it.
