The Acausality of Qualia

All questions are about cause and effect, but existence can have no cause because any cause of existence would itself have to be part of it in the first place to exist at all. Thus, causality can answer how things exist, but not why they exist at all, and nothing can ever answer the question why they exist because it is not even really a question, as any question must be about cause and effect, about parts of a whole, and therefore cannot be about the whole itself. Causality, therefore, can only determine how things are connected, but not the things in themselves. Causality is what gives form, matter, to a content, mind, determining when and where qualia happen but not what they are.
