And the thing is the more I think about it the more it seems like it’s right. Like things may appear to have a sense of separateness but it’s all the same (I’m guessing in the sense of all atoms from the Big Bang). I’m guessing based on the law of conservation of matter nothing truly “dies” since matter isn’t destroyed it just breaks down and forms into other things. I’m guessing the reality has always existed is likely based on the idea that you can’t get something from nothing, and that nothing isn’t a sound concept philosophically.
