Young children have no past. The old have no future. The rest are too busy with present. This time-tripod holds up the world. You ignore the importance of this interdependence of the three, the world as you know it is in danger of collapsing
Unconditional love should not be presumed to be without ardent expectations as also the inevitable disappointment.
