The world, as mattering to a living thing, is encountered along the lines of being-in-the-world. That is, it is encountered, it befalls the being-in-the-world of living things. When we say that the character of the world as encountered is mattering, it must be emphasized that, for the most part, many things are encountered that do not matter to me, that, particularly in everyday life, the world is there in such a way that it is without consequence to me, to my way of being-in and with the world. It is of no consequence to me, inconsequentiality as a character of the being-there of the surrounding world. This inconsequentiality is a specific character of mattering. If I say: “that does not matter to me,” that does not mean that what does not matter to me is not there, but rather, precisely then, I admit that the world is there. This is the specific character of everydayness. Therefore, if inconsequentiality is a character of the everydayness of living, which determines the world in its being-there, and if inconsequentiality is itself intelligible as something that does not matter to me, then it appears that being-there interprets the world as something in the character of something that matters. [Heidegger   GA18:51]
