Being is not predicated by Being, thus Being knows itself through the language of man only when man is passive. When actions, including language, are intentional, they lose their meaning and disappear into the contrived reality, and thus become chatter. 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.
