Everydayness conceals the deeper questions of being from "summary" of Being and Time by Martin Heidegger
In the midst of our everyday existence, we find ourselves entangled in the mundane tasks and concerns that fill our lives. These daily activities, whether we are working, eating, sleeping, or simply going about our daily routines, often consume our attention and distract us from deeper reflections on the nature of our being. This preoccupation with the immediate demands of everyday life serves to conceal the profound questions that lie beneath the surface of our existence. By focusing solely on the practical aspects of our lives, we neglect to consider the more fundamental issues that shape our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. In our pursuit of efficiency and productivity, we tend to overlook the larger questions of meaning and purpose that underlie our actions. This tendency to prioritize the practical aspects of life over the contemplation of deeper existential concerns leads to a sense of alienation and disconnection from our own being. By immersing ourselves in the routines and habits of everyday life, we lose sight of the broader context in which our actions take place. We become trapped in a cycle of busyness and distraction that prevents us from engaging with the more profound aspects of our existence. Only by stepping back from the immediacy of everyday life can we begin to uncover the deeper questions that define our being. By reflecting on our experiences and examining the underlying assumptions that shape our understanding of the world, we can start to unravel the complexities of our existence and gain a deeper insight into the nature of being itself.
