Place in the World

'Rejoice in your present life; all else is beyond you'.
[Montaigne, after Epicurus]

We can never begin from the beginning - we're always too late.

The Golden Age is always behind us ... or ahead of us.

Any interpretation of Life has its Ideal, 'set aside' - displaced into an Afterlife, or into a Prehistory ... or into a Parallel Universe.

Every Ideology is a rationalisation of such a Betrayal.

Who is ever strong enough to live in constant Uncertainty?
