Yesterday is dead and gone...

Somebody said "Yesterday is dead and gone - tomorrow is not yet her - enjoy today - which is now and here.It must be Omar Khayyam - nobody in sober state could have said that.Well what we did yester day and the days before that have a bearing on today and have the capacity to either ruin the day for us or make it superb for us.I we were careless yesterday (and the days before that) without thinking about today and sure enough today is ruined for us.And if we are carelss about tomorrow(and the days after that) - sure enough we are sowing seeds today for a worse (or better) tomorrow.As have seen, it is stupid, by any stretch of imagination, to say that yesterday is dead and gone ...Still it is amazing to see the number of people saying that including some religious people and politicians.It makes me wonder ... are these people as drunk as Omar Khayyam?
