107. Bestowal and Impoverishment
Being as appropriative event appropriates Da-sein into its essence (first founds it against the nothing). In this opening of appropriation, the event bestows itself as a gift in the manner of refusal (it never emerges to the fore as something representable in a possible objectification). Such bestowal is im-poverishment (an essential letting become poor) in the wealth of the singular, as the manner in which beyng prevails in essence by contrast with all beings. Im-poverishment into essential poverty bestows the ground of possible steadfast insistence within Da-sein, to whom alone care belongs, yet care is the truth of beyng.
Such care is abyssally different from every gloomy or wretched worry. It is the essencing of wealth in the simplicity of its bestowal into the owned in which beings of beyng (as event) find their essence.
That to supreme bestowal there corresponds impoverishment—to know this is a fundamental demand of beyng-historical thinking.
108. The Owned (Beings in Beyng as Event)
belonging to the opening of appropriation, distributing the simple wealth (unfathomably simple in the manner of abyssal ground) of the contentious and of counterance.
Beings in the sense of the owned are never what is actual in the sense of what can be straightforwardly encountered in setting it forth and setting it before us.
The contentious and counterance are never to be grasped dialectically, because they are never to be apportioned representationally, in the manner of properties, to mere oppositional statements.
"Nature" and "world" in their metaphysical stamp are incapable of saying that which pertains to the owned, of experiencing strife as the site of grounding the time-space of countering.
Strife as site of the nearness of an awaiting what is most remote. {GA 69: 124}
Even "thing," "tool," "work" are still metaphysical—and fail to bring what they name into the in-between of beyng. Whether not here something simpler, singular, in accordance with stillness.
Strife as site of countering, gift of counterance.
Countering as freeing what is contentious.
