Ah, but I want nothing.
There is no tomorrow. There is only yesterday. Just before we slumber in the evening in the night's dark embrace, we think about tomorrow, about something we want or dread. It's the anticipation..the looking forward that moves us. Yet when tomorrow arrives, it greets the same person who dreamed about it the night before.
Nothing has changed.

There is no yesterday.
There is no tomorrow.
Regret and anticipation are equally futile.
All we have is the razor's edge of Now on which we balance a life.
And yet, how many minutes of your life have been spent in the Now instead of lingering over the lost past or fearing the untouchable future?
In this context, Now is the moment that the car perfectly apexes at 9000 rpm with no room for anything but the moment of decision that will allow a future.

They are like the quickenings of the blood...yearning...churning...in prescient apprehension of a moment gone in an instant.
Darkness is freedom, the tranquility of nothingness.
Huh? And I thought I was getting used to this.

Regret and anticipation are mere vibrant keenings of the heart that flicker to illuminate dreams.

In colloquial terms, my answer would be, better to have loved and lost...

Very pretty, but isn't this just a restatement of the first unanswered question? "Why is there something rather than nothing?"

Brevity is a sign of good writing.

Dear Ron:
Long time reader, first time poster....
How is it that the paintless dent guy....
Can rub the crease from the inside.... then hit it from the outside....
And it ends up looking like there never was a crease?
Last time I tried that with a sledgehammer... didn't come out so good!
Signed,
Questioning creases in Cincy
