You never not existed. There was no 'you' sitting around not existing and who was suddenly granted existence.

Existence is you. Non-existence is not. You did not spring from non-existence.

Nothing that 'is' never 'is not'.

When I blow out a flame, the flame is not sent to non-existence.

To be or not to be, that is the question, no?
And as we are, we always will be and never will not be.
