Apart, therefore, from trust and distrust, one must take familiarity into account – a familiarity with the world which makes typical expectations possible at all, and which cannot be denied or rejected in toto. Even someone who suffers from fear or loathing of the world must take his medicine, pay his taxes, brush his teeth, take his car for testing and, in doing so, accept the world. The dependence on familiar world structures and types of meaning cannot be thrown off.

DEFINE: Clarifies familiarity as an irreducible third component beyond trust and distrust in how we relate to the world.
