Time granted but not yet being is indeed like music that 
does not yet sound. Nevertheless, one may "choose" to
participate in this non-participation - "hollow" as it may 
be.
Derrida's Heideggerian "always already" may refer to
something more substantial. However, as Gasche says 
somewhere: "[it] can never fully become present".
There is more to Dasein and his world than meets the
eye. 

Thanks!

Kindest regards,
Henk
