What if you had no way of knowing what might happen tomorrow (and none of us does)? What would you do then? If any decision you had to make had to be made entirely based on WHAT IS--RIGHT NOW, what would you do?
I read this and immediately I thought, "Okay, what is right now, you mean what if right now he stays like this forever?" You mean now meaning now. It is so very hard for me not to look into the future. Right this very minute...I don't know. Why is this so blasted hard for me to comprehend?
