Temporal succession is a uniting division, not sheer separation
Evidence
Temporality is not a universal time containing all beings and in particular human realities. Neither is it a law of development which is imposed on being from without. Nor is it being. But it is the intra-structure of the being which is its own nihilation—that is, the mode of being peculiar to being-for-itself. The For-itself is the being which has to be its being in the diasporatic form of Temporality. — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness, 485 (
