“In fallenness one drifts along with the fads and trends of the crowd, caught up in the mindless busy-ness, and tranquillized by the secure feeling that everyone else is doing the same thing; things in general seem to have been worked out by us. Heidegger says that, in its fallenness, Dasein ‘becomes blind to all its possibilities, and tranquillizes itself with that which is merely “actual”‘. In its simplest form, fallenness is the non-awareness of what it means to be.”
― Michael Watts, Heidegger: An Essential Guide For Complete Beginners
