"時間は物ではなくそれが存在するものではありませんしかし時間にある存在のように時間的なものではなく消え去ることにおいて常に一定であり続けます"
— Martin Heidegger
Simplified Meaning:
Time itself does not exist like a physical object you can touch or see, but it always moves forward steadily. Unlike living things that exist and change within time, time itself isn't a "thing" that changes. Imagine a river where the water keeps flowing; you can't pick up the flow, but you know it's always moving. People, animals, and plants are born, grow, and die within time. They are affected by time, but time itself doesn’t get old or change. Think about your daily routine: you wake up, eat, work, and sleep. These activities show time passing, but time itself remains invisible and unchanging. You can use this understanding to appreciate the importance of every moment and make the most of your time, knowing it is a steady backdrop to all that happens in life.
