A history of tomorrow. While on the surface this might seem a silly and pointless title for a blog it conveys exactly what I mean to say. Human nature is a fixed thing. The wants, needs and sins of the Persian, Greek, Roman, American and trans-AsianEuropean are/will be the same. The choices I made yesterday determine who I will be tomorrow.
In fact, on a deeper level, the choices my parents made 23 years ago shape my tomorrow as well. It is vain to speak of my “self” in the abstract. I am my parent’s child and grandparents grandchild whether I like it or not.
So, when I say that today is the history of tomorrow I mean that what happened in the past forms tomorrow. The future is an open history book.
What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Is there a thing of which it is said, "See, this is new"? It has been already in the ages before us.
(Ecc 1:9-10)
Note: My new years resolution is to post every day. I hold no illusions of posting great or even readable stuff. I want to write purely for my own benefit since the more I write the clearer my thinking is. Comments are more than welcome.
