"Le possible se classe plus haut que l'actuel car la possibilité est enracinée dans le mode d'être de l'existence."

Martin Heidegger

Simplified Meaning:

When something is possible, it holds more value than something that has already happened because possibilities are connected to the way we exist and look forward to the future. Imagine you're a student thinking about your career options. The idea of becoming a doctor, a teacher, or an engineer excites you because these are all different paths you could take. The excitement lies in what could be rather than what is already set in stone. In history, explorers like Christopher Columbus were driven by the possibility of discovering new lands, which motivated their journeys and shaped future events. On a personal level, think about making plans with friends. The potential fun you might have on a planned trip is often more thrilling than a regular day spent at home, which is already known and predictable. Embracing possibilities can encourage you to dream big and make changes that could improve your life. This mindset helps motivate and guide you towards achieving your goals by focusing on what you can still achieve.
