He actually also thought Plato arrived at the highest understanding of being yet, and I'm pretty he sure he no longer singly blamed Plato. Also Heidegger was a Catholic for life, through all the interest in Protestantism and dependence on Grecian paganism.

>The third passage of the Parmenides is the most profound point to which Occidental metaphysics has ever advanced. It is the most radical advance into the problem of Being and time—an advance which afterwards was not caught up with [aufgefangen] but instead intercepted [abgefangen] (by Aristotle)
- Heidegger
>If the second half of his [Plato’s] Parmenides would be performed anew with today’s methods (and not Neoplatonically), then all bad metaphysics would be overcome, and the space would be open for a pure hearing of the language of Being.
- Karl Jaspers in a letter to Heidegger:

>Let this therefore be said, and let us also say the following, as it seems appropriate. Whether or not there is a unity, the unity itself and the manifold otherness, both in relation to themselves as well as to each other—all this, in every way, both is and is not, appears [phainetai] and does not appear. —This is most true [alēthestata].
- Final passage of the Parmenides

>Maximal truth has been attained when appearance and Non-being have been included within truth and Being. The dialogue literally leads to Nothing [Nichts]. . . . Thereby the question of Being has been transformed, everything is now otherwise. The on is both hen and polla, and it is hen, insofar as it is polla and vice versa. The One and the Many are only insofar as they are in themselves negative [nichtig].
- Heidegger's conclusion of his seminar on the Parmenides

These are some of the greatest profundities of the human word, it would do you all well to read over them a bit.

There comes the point in life, where you retreat in your own thoughts to rationalize
your nihilism while failing to hide it from the outside.
Your despair view of life, you are aware of the hierarchy, animalistic nature of mankind, the living for attraction of the opposite sex, the security of your tribe and your property. You retreat inside your mind even deeper.
You fall into depression due to the cynical worldview, to the lack of faith, to the insidious society. Yet noone in the real world is brave to speak how life has no meaning, how all are acting for status, ego-trips and sexual attraction.
You fall deeper in despair, it's all a fallacy. You now can't connect with your normie colleagues, your friends, your family, you can't seem to connect to people on a personal-level. You become a shell of the former self, you can't continue living in a lie. You are afraid of deeper relationships but you are more afraid of isolation.
Becuase Isolation is death, t o be rejected by your peers, to be rejected by females, to be against the world.
You are a animal afterall, if you are alone, you are dead. The pervasive capitalistic nature gets to you, hierarchy among even friends get to you, it's all a power-play in the end.
You become a shut-in, an incel, a neet because you can't go on, not without faith, not without walking towards god, towards something better, towards something whatever it is that gives you little hope.
Because to not play the game, is also a decision and we all pay the consciences of our actions.
Thus life is suffering, you understand, you sacrifice and get ready for the flood to come.
