..tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
What is it about tomorrows? We plan for them.... we live for them... we are consumed by them... we save for them.... we think about them all the time... why is that? People who know me understand that I do have a couple of opinions about one or two things... actually I do happen to have one about this as well... :)
It is a desperate need in us to control our lives... be the master of our fates... the creators of our destinies... everything is about what is going to happen in my life tomorrow... and tomorrow... and tomorrow....next week... next year and on and on....
...the truth is ...we haven't got a clue about what is going to happen tomorrow... if we will even have another tomorrow ... not our department... tomorrows are not under our control... someone else is in control of that... not us....
We don't like even the thought of such a thing...
Shakespeare even wrote a soliloquy about them in MacBeth... when we do not understand either life or death... we write something like this....
"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more.It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing."
Shakespeare was clueless about the purpose of life.... to him all of life was tragic... sorry Bill... Life is not a tale told by an idiot.... signifying nothing... when we tune in to the One who does control our tomorrows... there is suddenly meaning and purpose to everything about life... it becomes His Plan... His purpose... His tomorrow...
... and we can just kick back and enjoy today... big time... and stop worrying about any tomorrows....!
