The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Parmenides by Plato: not-being.') were to relinquish something of being, so as to become not-
being, it would at once be.
Quite true.
Then the one which is not, if it is to maintain itself, must have the being
of not-being as the bond of not-being, just as being must have as a bond
the not-being of not-being in order to perfect its own being; for the
truest assertion of the being of being and of the not-being of not-being is
when being partakes of the being of being, and not of the being of not-
being--that is, the perfection of being; and when not-being does not
partake of the not-being of not-being but of the being of not-being--that
is the perfection of not-being.
