> We are always becoming, and never are
This emphasizes the lifelong journey of human development and growth. We are not born with a fixed set of abilities and limitations. Rather, we are constantly learning, evolving, and becoming. This is central to Polanyi's understanding of the human condition. He argues that we are not static beings with fixed identities, but rather dynamic entities constantly evolving and changing. Our knowledge and understanding of ourselves and the world around us are continually expanding and being redefined. This ongoing process of becoming is a fundamental aspect of our existence, and it is driven by both our conscious efforts and the tacit knowledge that shapes our experiences and actions.
