According to Robert Frost, the future only confirms the present and that the future is not an outcome of the past. That statement confirms my suspicion that Mr Frost is an overrated laureate feted by a nation full of contradictions.
Kundera had his moment too. He had this notion that one of the certainties afforded to man, is that all predicitons are wrong. Of course, he had a zillion stories to back his fancy.
I dont know, I'm baffled. Give me Lillian Too anyday.

err...in future, the present is the past.
ALL predictions are wrong? tell that to the ppl who win 4D draws etc, or even the contra traders in share markets :D
I predict I wont win fantasyfootie at season end! Lets see if my prediction is wrong..lol!
thats what makes kundera so interesting.
lillian too is overrated.
"Man can only be certain about the present moment. But is that quite true either? can he really know the present? Is he in a position to make any judgement about it? Certainly not. For how can a person with no knowledge of the future understand the meaning of the present? If we do not know what future the present is leading us toward, how can we say whether this present is good or bad, whether it deserves our concurrence, or our suspicion, or our hatred?" -milan kundera.
Hey! I say live for the present let the future be a surprise. Life is too vague, let it be a challenge and therefore, interesting! Who wants to know a possibly boring outcome?!?!
vic, its too easy to make a statement and qualify it with stories. Thats how these buggers sell books.
noni, *speechless*

babulicious, yes that passage was from Ignorance. I agree with you, lets live for the present!
