Heideggerian suffering already contains an active plastic straining toward the future

Evidence

The ‘suffering’ (erleidet, pâtir) described by Heidegger is also an active straining towards the future. We call ‘plastic’ only that ‘to which, generally speaking, something can happen’. Thus its orientation is towards the event and it is capable of withstanding the violence that comes with it. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1276
