If this is true, how do you ever actually get to the "middle"?
Your statement, EVERYTHING has a beginning a middle and an end. So, extrapolating this, we find that each "beginning" must have a beginning, a middle and an end. First lets set aside the middle and the end in order to discuss the beginning.
Each of those beginnings has a beginning, and each of those has a beginning and so forth. This can be taken to an infinite number of beginnings for the original beginning such that each beginning is infantessmally small and therefore meaningless and non-existant. Applying this knowledge we find that the beginnings of everything is non-existant.
Next we move to the middle of each "beginning". Each middle of the original beginning must contain a beginning a middle and an end. So again we are brought to the original beginning of a beginning of a beginning taking to our discussion of the infinite beginings. But this is a discussion of the "middle". But the middle can not exist with out a beginning due to the statement that all things must have a beginning a middle and an end. Since we can never actually pass the beginning of anything, for either it does not exist or we get stuck in recursive beginnings, we will never see the middle of the first beginning.
Now the end. Although common culture has led us to believe that all things have an end, there exist no ends. We can use the preceding arguements for the beginnings and middles to show that without a beginning or end, there will be no end, for an end may not exist without the middle and beginning. The redundancy of the first beginning may be used to deduce that this argument will go on with no end in sight.
Re: Everything has a *Beginning a Middle and a End * allilm: What if you never actually defined the beginning as the beginning till it was already over? Therefore it didn't even exist until it no longer existed, in which case, you wouldn't need to worry about it's beginning, middle and end because it is no longer relevant.
Re: Everything has a *Beginning a Middle and a End * Phyxius: This isn't the end. It's not even the beginning of the end. It's simply the end of the beginning... ;)
