The inauthentic present!

"The inauthentic present is marked by hallowness. No sense of you is implicated in what you do. Your actions don’t implicate your sense of mission in life or your sense of self-determination. You don’t bring to the present a way of structuring what’s possible that’s individual to you. Your actions don’t highlight your past and future. Instead, they express the chatter of the every-day world. To the person lost in the inauthentic present, death is an abstract subject, and the past has no impact on what’s being done now."
