In-der-Blog-sein

From the Tao of Steve via The Tao Of Robert:

Dex : Look at me. Look at me, okay? Technically, I shouldn't be getting laid, but I do. And do you know why, Dave? Because when I'm hanging out with a woman, that's all I'm doing is hanging out, talking, listening. I'm not sitting there thinking about how to get in bed with her. And this completely confuses them because they're saying 'Wait a minute. I'm so much better looking than this guy. Isn't he attracted to me?' The basic principle: We pursue that which retreats from us.
Rick : It's from Heidegger.

The retreat belongs to enowning:

[T]o give as sending there belongs keeping back--such that the denial of the present and the withholding of the present, play within the giving of what has been and what will be. What we have mentioned just now--keeping back, denial, withholding--shows something like a self-withdrawing, something we might call for short: withdrawal. But inasmuch as the modes of giving that are determined by withdrawal--sending and extending--lie in Appropriation, withdrawal must belong to what is peculiar to the Appropriation.

P. 22

The retreating/withdrawing/self-sheltering-concealing is enopened by dasein:

Da-sein is the very own self-grounding ground of alhJeia of fusiV, is the essential swaying of that openness which first enopens the self-sheltering-concealing (the essential sway of be-ing) and which is thus the truth of be-ing itself.

S. 173
