We act as the shepherd of Being, guarding Being with language. Being only knows itself through the language of man, thus Being does not really exist, but through man, it ek-sists. Language is a buffer between Being and us. Poetry tries to find a voice rather than just chatter. Language is used to allow communication along routes of unlimited accessibility of all things to all people, thus language is dictated in the public realm because it decides what is intelligible and what should be discarded.
Language needs a place where it still has meaning and life.
In The Way to Language , Heidegger declares that language speaks, and language says something when it speaks. By showing and pointing, language introduces a capacity for beings and things to come into their presence in the world. Through thinking, we see the truth of Being, and Being comes to language. However, Being is unthought because the thinking that reaches the truth of Being is only historical. Assuming in the future that man will be able to think the truth of Being, he will think from ek-sistence.
