All existence is particular

To exist means to be something, a thing, a feeling,

a thought, an idea. All existence is particular.

Only being is universal, in the sense that every

being is compatible with every other being.

Existences clash, being - never. Existence means

becoming, change, birth and death and birth again,

while in being there is silent peace.
