If we could only think (thinking is thanksgiving and remembrance!)
otherwise, that is differently...we might consider relations and not things
as primary...only then we may get the glimpse of the reality of being, an
idea of the meaning of being...and perhaps all other..ings..and their
relationship with be-ing...

Time for Repatriation?
Without the human verb *Being* there would
still be beings (things,) - but undescribed using that particular device -
for
*Being* is only a linguistic device for opening up a commentary on the
various states of the existence of beings.
The removal of beings (things,) on the other hand would render the word
*Being* impossible, for there would be no beings to be. This test proves
the inadmissibility of the gerund version of *Being,* and PROVES THE
MERELY "DESCRIPTIVE OF STATE " FUNCTION OF *BEING.*
The "ing" of the gerund form of *Be-ing* has been corrupted into
propagandistic
servitude ever since its introduction into the language. We have now "ing"
forms of most nouns serving as pseudo actions that promote the desirability
of whatever commodity or service is "inged" into the noosphere. Surely it
won't be long before my kids go "McDonalding?"
We can "actify" anything! But the "fact" of existence itself, once it
became "actified" and "inged" into "Be-ing," it became a noun instead of
the verb of ultimate processes. And so Heidegger and the rest thought
we could hold the "BE" of existence in our hands, define it, describe it,
limit it, study and teach it, without having to yield to its insistence that
we ourselves change and get into and out of its way as it and we touched.
Isn't it time now to give "John Bull *Being*" his old job back and send the
guest-arbeiter Dasein back to the Swartzwald where he came from?
