We opened our eyes to the world
from where we crashed
with clipped wings
staring at the chasm
we try to scale
in vain
 

Thrownness (German: Geworfenheit) is a concept introduced by German philosopher Martin Heidegger (1889–1976) to describe humans’ individual existences as being ‘thrown’ (geworfen) into the world in the sense of its having been born into a specific family in a particular culture at a given moment of human history.
