'Change is because of being (living, existing), being is not because of change.'
It's seems proto-existential but I totally agree.

I'd say both parts are correct.
'Change is because of being...' Change won't occur if there is nothing (no 'being') to change.
'....being is not because of change' I'd say that's wrong, because most things that are (being) are here because something else changed.

There is only one thing that I know for sure. Reality, experience, conciousness, whatever it is that is happening...
It's shit.
You guys, real or not, make it better though

It wasn't my intention to get others to join in, and it's only a temporary change for me to show my support, but I really appreciate you joining me in a show of solidarity in the face of terrorism.

"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci
"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
