All of our imagined hopes and plans for the promising pleasures of "tomorrow" are crafted by the parts of us determined to keep us from seeing what we're being given to see about ourselves in each and every present moment.
The inevitable sense of emptiness that eventually nips at the heels of most men and women is the sudden realization that in spite of having "banked" a billion self-stimulating sensations -- even when all have been added up -- they still amount to nothing.
