A DAY WILL COME THAT WILL HAVE NO TOMORROW

The phrase in this title came to me from my friend Albert Danan.
I found it superb and promised myself to write an article about it.
You have to read it over and over again to understand its depth.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring? This is a Hebrew proverb I've known for a very long time, and which I repeat when a situation doesn't turn out as planned.

Tomorrow is a lovely word with several explanations. To begin with, it refers to the day following the day in question. As the saying goes: "Never put off until tomorrow what can be done today". But tomorrow is also about the future, like thinking about tomorrow. We also say 'from one day to the next', which means very quickly, in a short space of time. However, without tomorrow means without extension, without continuation, like happiness without tomorrow. Strangely enough, I took it upon myself to over-define this word to find all its possibilities, especially since, according to the title, there will be no tomorrow.

The only thing that's certain in all this is that a day will come. And that cannot be changed.

The question remains: are we living today or tomorrow? If we live for today, why do we make ourselves sick thinking about tomorrow? Sorry, but we're all the same! It almost seems as if our lives will be spent in the future. Yes, we look ahead, we all hope that tomorrow will be better, whereas today is uncertain. Today is here, with us, so let's live it, tomorrow? Who knows? I could be gone in my sleep.

Okay, I'm not that pessimistic, but reality is here. It looks down on us, contemptuously, disdainfully. Reality is real, it exists, it's not an idea, an illusion, an appearance. No wonder we sometimes talk about the harsh realities of life.

I'm trying to say that tomorrow is not certain. What will tomorrow be made of? Will tomorrow be a great day? Tomorrow is the day after today. And the latter is today, the time in which we are.
To say goodbye, we say "See you tomorrow", in the near future.

In short, should I fear this mysterious tomorrow? The title above will certainly frighten some people. But not me! I'm going to live today, and if I'm still here tomorrow, I'll repeat what I did today. I survived and I'm glad I did. I feel at ease and enjoy my personal comfort.

Yes, it may be that for some, tomorrow will never come. They will have missed the train, which will continue to roll on, having lost some of its passengers. I imagine that at the rate things are going, this document will hardly be finished. I stop because my coffee is getting cold.

TEMPORARY END?
