Today does not know tomorrow.

The moment does not know if it is today.

The moment slips by one at a time.

Man, on the other hand,

lives for nothing but for tomorrows.

But does it stop there?

Does he only care about tomorrow?

Does he not end up caring about everything but TODAY?

Tomorrow, "later this week", next month, mid-year, next year, in five years?

How could he not?

For in living the life inside the Mind,

is an infinite slippery slope.

One thought takes you to the next,

and to the next,

like a leaf riding the whims of an unnatural wind.

Yes.

For though the wind in nature is disorderly,

with the Mind,

there is often a lack of disorder.

For chaos and lack of order,

is what nature deals in.

Randomness is inherent in the universe.

But could the Mind stand in the same room as random?

Not a chance.

And thus, living inside the mind,

is a relentless, neverending race to find order

in anything and everything.

Where was I ...

... right, man and his penchants towards tomorrow.

You see, this deeply innate, unquenching thirst of the Mind,

to want to "have things lined up in order",

makes Man susceptible to never ever bother

with TODAY.

His default reaction to anything that happens to him today,

will be ... "So what about the tomorrows?"

Sometimes this reaction,

will take place in such a subtle manner,

so deep inside the many layers of his mind,

(clearly affecting his ultimate "face value" facial contortion),

that he will deny such a claim!

How will he deny it?

He will say ...

"No! I live for today, I live right here right now.

I have installed this app, that reminds me every X minutes,

to take a step back,

to take a minute,

to remember all is well."

...

All is well?

All is well!?

Do you even know what you are talking about, dear friend?

Do you have ANY IDEA the extent of the grips,

the Mind has you by?

You are so deeply programmed to not live RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW,

that no matter how many apps or reminders you set on your childish device,

you will ALWAYS live planning your tomorrows.

And OF COURSE, on the surface ... "All is well",

but are you not secretly processing your impending "Alls" behind this fake "Well-ness"?

And the minute the App is closed,

you will pop another one open.

Ohh you say you have been "working" on limiting your screen time?

Fine.

Let us say you put it in your pocket.

What's next?

WHAT. IS. NEXT.?

Right.

There is no next.

Because you are not even there to contemplate this question.

You have already taken off.

To an event later today or one tomorrow,

or one of your many plannings for next month,

or heck, for the "next few years" to come.

Do you see what I mean?

There is no "So what's next" for you,

because you are already the Next, and the next, and the next...

You are an automation, my friend.

The automation of a life that you think you are living.

But you live NOT.

For YOU. ARE. AN. AUTOMATION.

And, an automation is just that ...

... a non-living, robotic, and senseless entity.

Does this sound humane to you?

Does this sound natural to you?

Does this even to the slightest extent, sound normal to you?

Go ahead, accept the TRUTH, at least once.

At least, once in your life, say it ...

"I do not know WHO I AM."

"For I have become an automation ...

... a constant stream of a non-existential conglomerate of thoughts about things ...

... that simply ...

... HAS NOT HAPPENED YET."

"And in becoming the automation ... I have become an abomination of the human race"

But you will not.

So I will say it.

...

In living for tomorrow,

and in living for everything else which will not come tomorrow,

you are living for things that will never ever come.

And because there is a disconnect between you and YOU,

one that is only widening,

and because you are an automation not aware of itself,

which is only increasing in its automation,

there is no YOU left to be brought back TODAY.

YOU.

ARE.

DEAD.

TODAY.

Thank you.
