DAY 116

📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
Are you missing the wine of this moment by worrying about a tomorrow that hasn't arrived?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Khayyam, the Persian poet who was also an astronomer and mathematician, knew better than anyone how fleeting human life is before the universe. Reading his poems, I come to see how foolish it is to regret yesterday or to fear a tomorrow that has not come. His voice — "savor this very moment" — is no simple hedonism. It is a fierce philosophical declaration that, before death we cannot escape, the only truth we can hold is the "here and now" alone.
