Now.

[wolven7]

You want to make your "tomorrow" "better." I get that. Really, I do. But can I ask you this? What's your today look like?

Gorillaz - [12D3]--- What exists, right now? What is the shape of your entire world, at this instant? What is it that you want to make "better?" What else will that change? What are the unintended consequences of your actions?

Until you can make a go at even asking that, what are you doing trying to make "better" of anything? Where do you get off?

Do you realise that what's terrible for you, right now, is so much worse for someone else?

But that doesn't matter. No. It doesn't. You're here. You're in this. What is it? What is its shape? What is the texture of your now? What is the warp and weft of the situation in which you find yourself?

Liars - [If You're a Wizard Then Why do You Wear Glasses?]--- I'm asking, here. This isn't a rhetorical device. What is the nature of your Now?

Have you ever seen fire, in zero gravity?

What does fire do, in space?

Havi Brooks calls it "gifts to one's slightly-future-self", or somesuch.

Oh dear... if there's no direction, it ends up consuming all edges of the fuel simultaneously, possibly working its way inward or not depending on material density.
