Being

"Being" refers to the fundamental existence or reality of something—its presence and essence. It’s the state of simply existing, beyond specific actions or qualities. For example, a person’s being encompasses their existence at a core level, not just their behaviors or identities. Philosophically, "being" is about understanding what it means for something to exist and the nature of reality itself. It underpins our understanding of everything that exists, serving as the foundation for questions about purpose, identity, and the nature of existence.
