| The Present |
|
A person's past may have been anything. What is he now? This is the most important thing. But we, most of us, rarely ask this question because we are predominantly worried only about the past antecedents. Thus, we miss the real person and see only a tangled and superficial web of trivialities enclosing the individual like a fly in a spider's web.... Living in the present unites us, while living in the past can tend to separate person from person and, as history records for us, even nation from nation.
