Good, bad or indifferent

Tomorrow’s another day! 

If it’s good, perhaps one would like to repeat it: if bad, one wants to get rid of it as quickly as possible.

 

Indifferent?

One isn’t perhaps quite sure.

Is indifferent better than bad, or not quite good?

 

France – and the world for that matter – just lost one of its’ best philosopher’s

Edgar Morin, who would have turned 105 this coming July.

 

Firstly, sad that he didn’t make it, secondly, sad that he wasn’t very well known in the English-speaking world as he did write 60 some books!

 

An all-around person who excelled in making sense of things – or even in changing his mind as time and history evolved. One can learn a lot from him, and for anyone interested the Wikipedia article is the short introduction:

Perhaps he could have made better sense than I about my phrase.

 

It is however, true, that in spite of our joys, our sorrows, our trials, our tribulations (a word that is no longer much used), once the sun goes down, and there’s a new day on the horizon, it is a new day. The slate is wiped clean and we have the choice of remembering the good, of wallowing in the bad, or simply accepting the indifferent.

Tomorrow will always be another day.
