My paper revisits Lacan' s version of the Freudian ‘Wo Es War, Soll Ich Werden’ (Where It was, I shall come into being) and approaches it as an ethical injunction to reconcile with our words. Adopting the perspective of the so-called ordinary language philosophy, I argue that reconciliation presupposes recovering the meaning of our utterances, which amounts to paying attention to our own uses of words and trying to use our words significantly. Such a connection can play a crucial role in clarifying that the Es is not some mysterious, extra-linguistic realm, but it is rather an aspect of non-meaning in language which arises when certain uses of words stay excluded from us (in isolation). The passage from ‘in isolation’ to ‘in relation’ through our reconciliation with those (uses of) words and utterances is what allows for our cure in language.
