There are assertions about the relationship between reflection and experience that if I consider experience
to be simply a passive recording of impressions, I will never acknowledge how the reflective process can
be incorporated with experience.On the other hand, the more we understand the concept of experience in
its full intricacy, including its productive and dialectical aspects, the better we will understand how
experience cannot help but transform into reflection, and we will even have the right to say that the more
richly experience is, the more reflection it is.But, we must explore further and recognize that reflection
can manifest itself at different levels; Marcel calls these two kinds of thinking “primary” and “secondary”
reflection.Primary reflection examines its object through abstraction, breaking it down analytically into its
core elements. It is concerned with definitions, essences, and problem-solving techniques. Secondary
reflection, on the other hand, is synthetic; it unites rather than divides. “Roughly, we can say that where
primary reflection tends to dissolve the unity of experience which is first put before it, the function of
secondary reflection is essentially recuperative; it reconquers that unity (Marcel 1951a, p. 83)

Heidegger thought that human subject should have a radical rethinking ,as "being-in-the-world." The idea
of consciousness as embodying the mind's internal awareness of its own states had to be abandoned
because it was diametrically opposed to the Cartesian "thing that thinks." With it, the idea that certain
mental states were required to mediate the mind's relationship to the rest of the world vanished. The
human subject was not a mind capable only of representing the world to itself and whose connection to its
body was merely contingent. Heidegger uses the term "Dasein'' to refer to what is commonly referred to
as the self or "I"; however, while the definitions of the words "self" and "Dasein" are similar, the
connotations are vastly different. When interpreted correctly, “Dasein” conveys the unique being of “I
am,” Heidegger's intention was to imply that a human being is in the world in the mode of "uncovering,"
revealing other entities as well as himself. Dasein, in other words, is the "there"—or the locus—of being,
and thus the metaphorical location where entities "show themselves" as what they are.

Everyone has limitations, regardless matter of how better you are than other people, there is always a
limit, thus nobody is flawless. However, we should not stop our limits, but we have to get the right
thinking to conquer them. So we people can transcend. We must appreciate our life's limitations, for we
have no way to overcome anything without them. Therefore, we must also make use of our potential to
transcend. We have come so far and we may develop and obtain freedom.Our limitations tighten us up
and denies the freedom to advertise our choices. Breaking our limitations brings us greater freedom than
before. Whatever the situation is, how important the problem is and regardless of how much limited it is,
we should always strive to conquer it. And in every aspect of my life, I should commit to constantly
remember that.
