And imagine, I suddenly looked at my watch and saw the arrows coming, coming, coming so relentlessly, nothing can stop them, and they really eat up time, steal it. They arrived at twelve, and lost hours, lost the day lost year. They stole it. We always look forward to this holiday, I'm talking about the New year as if we have already decided that everything is bad and uninteresting, but tomorrow starts a new year and things will change for the better. You know? Us as if from birth put the idea that you need to think about the future and live only for tomorrow. And we all do. And suddenly today is the best that was, is and will be throughout your life? And you haven't noticed, not seen, not understood, and only in extreme old age you suddenly start to realize that this was the best year of your life, it was so long ago, and you missed it, not appreciated, all waiting for something better.
