TEXT: Epistles

Observe individuals, and study people in general, and you will find everyone one of us living for tomorrow. "Is there any harm in that?" you say. Yes, endless harm. For they are not living; they are only about to live. Everything is deferred. Even if we were paying attention, life would slip by us; as it is, we put off living, and our lives race past us as if they belonged to someone else - ending on the last day, yet lost to us every day.
