“Dwelling is the manner in which mortals are on the earth.”
— Martin Heidegger

Simplified Meaning:
Living is how people exist and make their home on this planet. It's not just about having a house, but how we connect with nature and our surroundings. Think about how farmers live; they grow food, care for the land and animals, and depend on nature's cycles. This deep connection is what really ties them to the earth. Similarly, when we respect and look after our environment, we're truly dwelling. This means being mindful of our actions, like recycling and saving energy. By doing so, we make the earth a better place to live for ourselves and future generations. It's about making a meaningful connection with the world around us, rather than just existing in it.
