ponder


"No person is really here yet, is really alive. Because, after all, life means being-present, does not mean only before or after, foretaste or aftertaste. It means plucking the day, in the simplest and most basic sense, means acting concretely towards the Now. But precisely because our nearest, most genuine, continuous being-present is not one, no person is yet really living, precisely from this perspective."

- Ernst Bloch, The Principle of Hope, Vol. 1.
