Reality is in being. Being is because the void does not prevent it and there is no other nothingness. Since the void does not exist, it does not erect barriers to being. There is nothing in the void to say that being cannot be. Since the void is not, being can be taken to be; we may at least accept the partial existence of being. If we measure the reality of our lives against the void, we find that every good is a pure and primary good in itself, not less good than it might have been. If, on the other hand, we compare forms of being with abstract primaries of assumed value, then everything will fall short of our expectations.
