“Only the educated are free.” - Epictetus


From “The Human Condition: A User’s Manual,” by Arnold Kunst
15 April
Today is a most important day. I've got things that need doing – praying, relaxing, playing, prioritizing, executing, burying, dreaming, strategizing, harnessing otherwise errant power - that are earmarked for THIS day and no other. Doing those things yesterday would be as foolish as taking the cookies out of the oven early, when they’re still gooey, because I'm hungry; doing them tomorrow is looking for the immediately vital in what has already turned putrid/gone to seed. "Tomorrow," by contrast, is nothing but a jumped-up promissory note.
