some version but not really that. existince without action is meaningless. a a grain of sand exists but its existince is meaningless. think of the old drop a rock into the water metaphor some ripples become tsunmi's some just fade away with no lasting impact (atleast that we may be aware of).

Lets say you kill the ant later you feel remorse so you go out to a bar meet a girl get married and have a child the child is the worlds next "Hister" big ripple. Lets also say the ant you killed was being followed by army ants that would have destroyed the colony so the ants death saves the rest of the colony another big ripple. I know the example is frought with diffrent interelated philisophical problems but you get my drift.

Basicaly the life of each, the killer and the killed, had meaning from the action, the killing, without the action both were meaningless relative to each other.
