    If there is no yesterday and tomorrow, then today becomes even more important -- it's all we have.

    Let us put it differently.

    We donot know whether there was any "yesterday'. We donot know whether there will be a "tomorrow. We , simply , donot know..

    But WE KNOW today. Further, we know that tomorrow this "today" also will be yesterday. So , today is not importanr for those who want to be living dead.

    For the others , today is the only day , available for them to do whatever they want to do.... anthing big or small. The weak minded take a small thing that they think they can do in a day. The strong ones take the impossible and do it to the best of their capacity. But if there is a tomoorow for them they will continue the work.

    But, the strong ones KNOW that even if there is no tomorrow for them , personally , there will be a tomorrow for someone else and they can take up where he left.

    Sure....

    If there were no yesterday, then time is not really important, is it?....

    and actually, there is no tomorrow....... Every day is only today.....

    Yesterday is a memory of something we once knew...... but because it is gone.... it no longer exists..... except that we recall a memory of it..... so for argument's sake,..... lets assume it is not......

    today, is all we have...... today is what we must work with.... today, we influence the world..... because tomorrow will never come.....

    'Yesterday' was the past, no recovering it back. 'Tomorrow' is the future, never promised, might never have it at all! 'Today' is definitely the most important. It's what one has in hand. And 'tomorrow' (if it ever arrives) is dependent on what you put in today. So, live 'today' to the fullest - it might be our last! Enjoy!

    Today Tomorrow and yesterday are the same day. Stop the moon will not stop time stopping the rotation around the sun will not stop time thus yesterday and today are the same day. Time does not exist it is tool use to mark biotic and a biotic existence. A blind men sees not tomorrow are today thus every day is one day if one day is is yesterday tomorrow and today then every is an important day.

    Only you can make that decision. It is up to you whether today is important. Regardless of tomorrow or yesterday you can choose to be happy today or you can choose to be unhappy today. Your choice in the end.

    Yes, because if it is the only thing that is ever experienced then we, along with everyone else, should be happy while our minds exist.

    Live each day to it's fullest. Be happy & share what you have.
