Being-as-that-may has in its own prescience a preponderance of limitation which unconceals the moment of Being-on-time. Being-on-time is a self-valuing consciousness which applauds its own success at thwarting the exigencies of Being-as-that-may. The power of Being-as-that-may as it unconceals its negation in the realm of Being-in-the-world lays a temporal trap for Being-on-time, which, in its own cognition of the Will of the Absolute, strives to produce an effect of empowerment beyond the limitations of Being-on-the-way. The unequal and illigitimate loss of symmetry and equity in the social sphere of Being-together-for-dinner, for example, is dealt with by addressing the self-authenticating hubris of doubtful causal explanations and the re-interpretation of Not-being-on-time as Being-just-in-time, despite the compelling drama of striving to overcome the Being-for-itself which is revealed in its alienation to exist only as Being-in-the-way. The ontological implications of Being-on-time are not moot, as the alternative consciousness to Being-on-time is inevitably that of Being-between-a-rock- and-a-hard-place.
*Based in part on Martin Heidegger's statement:
The ideas of a 'pure "I"' and of a 'consciousness in general' are so far from including the a priori character of 'actual' subjectivity that the ontological characters of Dasein's facticity and its state of Being are either passed over or not seen at all.
