Then Hashem is compelled to create the world because so long as it's only potential goodness, then something's lacking. But the truth is who's to say that actuality is greater than potential? Just because we say it, you know, we say it because it's true, but it's only true because God willed it to be true. In other words, step one is God decided that actuality is greater than potential. Once God decided that, he had to create the world. But he didn't have to create the world. He only created the world because he decided actuality is greater than potential.
