What sucks for the vacuum cleaner is that it was created from other stuff - and 
it's in a constant state of flux - meaning it's subject to modification, and in 
fact, is falling apart right before your eyes.  Imagine sitting on the edge of 
a wild camp fire where flames and sparks are sporting and popping - certainly 
those sparks exist, but a case could be made that the existence of a spark is 
'borrowed' from the fire, and the existence of the fire is 'borrowed' from the 
wood, and the existence of the wood 'borrowed' from the tree.   Existentially, 
there is no difference between a galaxy, a vacuum cleaner, a spark or a 
neutrino - we may place too heavy an emphasis on life span - but in the case of 
every object, it's existence is borrowed.  IOW, from time to time, existence 
can take the form of an object.
