This text examines the philosophical issues of origin and extinction as manifestations of change. The author suggests that these concepts remain unclear unless the specific entity undergoing the transition can be precisely defined. Through an illustrative example of children playing with marbles, the text demonstrates that a change in a "situation," such as a marble entering a hole, lacks general significance and becomes relevant only within the specific rules and context of the game. In this sense, "origin" and "extinction" do not represent absolute ontological events but are meanings attributed to ephemeral changes by active subjects. The text concludes that understanding these processes is inherently linked to human perception and the contextual isolation of a particular event from its surroundings. The true essence of emergence and passing away is thus viewed through the prism of meaning imposed on events by participants, rather than as a simple physical fact.
