 and its realization is to say why did the world not come into being before it came into being? it cannot be referred to its inability to create events nor to the impossibility of occurrence for that would lead to the eternal changing from inability to ability and the world from impossibility to possibility and both are impossible. and it is not possible to say there was no purpose before it and then a purpose was renewed nor is it possible to refer to the loss of a tool and then its existence rather the closest thing that can be imagined is to say its existence was not willed before that. so it is necessary to say its existence occurred because it became willing for its existence.
