Awareness and acknowledgment of the arbitrariness of Dasein is characterized as a state of "thrown-ness" in the present with all its attendant frustrations, sufferings, and demands that one does not choose, such as social conventions or ties of kinship and duty. The very fact of one's own existence is a manifestation of thrown-ness.
Being aware of the arbitrariness of existence is characterized as a state of "being situated" or "being placed," encompassing the frustrations, sufferings, and demands that arise from one's circumstances, such as societal expectations or familial ties.
