The idea that it could change into non-being would also include never having been in the first place. If the situations were indeed the reverse, that non-being was logically prior to being, then there would not be anything capable of change in the first place.
Being A always exists prior (or has the potential to change into) to Being B or Non-Being but the same cannot be said for Non-Being?
In other words, Being A always exists as an antecedent, while Non-Being never does?
(To practically restate Rhythm's aforementioned tautology).
