“Being is the most universal concept.”
— Martin Heidegger

Simplified Meaning:
The idea here is that existing—just being alive or present—is something everyone everywhere can relate to. Think about how all people, animals, and even plants exist. No matter where you go or who you meet, everyone understands living and being. For example, whether you’re in a busy city or a quiet village, everyone you see is 'being' or alive. This shared experience connects all of us, even if we have different lives, cultures, or languages. You can apply this thought to understand and appreciate the common ground you share with others.
