As existentialist philosopher William Barrett has it, we collectively exist:

in a state of “fallen-ness” (Verfallenheit), according to Heidegger, in the sense that we are as yet below the level of existence to which it is possible for us to rise. … But, as happened to Ivan Ilyich in Tolstoy’s story, such things as death and anxiety intrude upon this fallen state, destroy our sheltered position of simply being one among many, and reveal to us our own existence as fearfully and irremediably our own“.

(1961: 196)
