It's the quid pro quo, giving like for like. Say there's "human error," that could be the error. Say "nothing's perfect," that could be the imperfection. Say "everyone is different," so is their unity, that's different from their division. Phil of Mind, OUP 1971, Hegel says, freedom is not won outside of the other or by fleeing from it, it's in making the other FOR mind or FOR reason. The Good is what's FOR the Good. Evil is AGAINST or opposed. Being FOR yourself includes being FOR others, their division and their unity. But, he says, because it's posited by mind there's nothing there that can't also be removed by mind. Sacrifices are made. The abstract universal "oneness" of existence, or the form, can't be without or divided from it's content, the particular properties or attributes that condition it. So, the concrete unites these sides FOR that reason. Existence is more than it "is what it is," it does what it does, it possess it's properties and it's purposes include others, all in the affirmative. But I think, "in the beginning," before the finished product was produced or formed, there is "nothing" in the sense that I just don't know how the hell we got here.
