I was worried about tomorrow today I was worried it would come.
I did not want to meet tomorrow, as I was not prepared.
Like a child fear the exam, I was afraid of the questions it would hold.
I wasn't prepared with answers as I didn't do my homework.
Then I remembered yesterday, where I was worried.
I was worried yesterday like a driver of a train, without breaks.
Thinking I would crash into the platform and kill thousands of innocence.
And I am living that day now train still running on rails.
Did you ever worry about the future? Like me sometimes. If so, this is my little advice. Hope it would help.
Tomorrow, it never comes. That is the amazing thing about tomorrow. It is just a name for something but an illusion in our minds.
Let's find out where is tomorrow.
Think about yesterday. Nothing happened up to now since yesterday is not at all accessible. When I think about this it amazes me. It is gone. Whatever you thought yesterday, your sorrow your happiness, your excitement, your anger. Everything is not there. Even things happened are not there anymore. Everything moved across the frame of time to the current state of affairs. Yet my mind is capable of making a replica of what happened in present moment. Only because this replica exists that I can understand that I existed through time. (this is the phenomena of coherence, some evidence that we are not living in someone Elses dream)
The question of tomorrow still exists. If we follow the same arguments, tomorrow is just our own reflection of mind. From whatever the information available today at our disposal we make a tomorrow in our mind. Let's look at the characteristics of this tomorrow.
Tomorrow definitely not yet arrived.
There is no place at this moment for tomorrow to exist. if it does it should be a parallel world
Hence tomorrow is not something physical.
Imagine you are on the north pole, where all the time zones converge. Or you are in the outer space, where you are not aware of the rotation of the earth, and you forgot to bring the clock with you. Even in these scenario's tomorrow would not exist.
So, what is it? It looks like tomorrow is a convention we have made, for ourselves to describe natural phenomena which happens with earth's rotation. But the truth is it is not something real. It is just a feeling that we all have because of earth's rotation. Because we have seen day and night happen over and over again, ever since we recognized dark and light, we are used to think that there will be a tomorrow.
Tomorrow is just a prediction, from what we observed in the past. It is a prediction which will be often true to most of us but relatively. But for some of us I can assure you there will be not tomorrow. For some of us today will be the last day that they would see the light and the dark. And as a fact for all of us that day will come. So, if tomorrow is a prediction, it is a good prediction for most of us, with a small risk of being failure.
The fact that there is no tomorrow means, today is the last day of the life of every one of us
Tomorrow is an illusion of mind.
Our minds are capable of creating things out of nothing. Tomorrow is one such illusion of the mind. As mind doesn't like to face uncertainty it will create a predictable projection from what happened in the past. And this mechanism is pretty good. However, as I illustrated the fact of complexity from my previous article of Rubik's cube, the complexity of this world is too much for any mind to predict a proper outcome. And it will be true for tomorrow. So, although our predictions are roughly correct, they will never be exactly correct.
So, what is the advantage of knowing this fact?
Imagine, you are going to the supermarket to buy some items. You find all the items but one is missing. It is raining and you will have to go to another shop to just to buy this item. And you are annoyed. Why?
It is because you expected a smooth shopping. Your prediction about buying every item from the same shop, did not work as planned. You did not predict there will be rain. And your reality deviated from your expectation, and you are annoyed now. Whose fault is this?
Can you see, that is exactly nobody's doing. That is just the nature and it happened only because you thought everything will happen smoothly tomorrow. Illusion you created yourself for tomorrow is wrong. And nobody can be prepared for what is going to happen next moment.
Knowing this puts me at an ease. As half of my problems were in the predictions of tomorrow.
Do you know where other half of my problems lie?
Read about this on where is my past?
And when I think about this I come to know that, I never existed out of this fraction of time. I have been only present in this moment. So, I should have been born and dead at the same time if I ever should travel in time as I do now. Only if this mind is capable of capturing this I will ever experience this fraction. And I await hoping to understand this fraction, Until then I will live on.
