Carpe Diem

About the Book

Walt was angry, and looked like he was about ready to explode. Ian had taken a step forward, and Earl stepped between Walt and the rest of the group. Walt took another f step back. “Look, I’m worried too, but I’d just want to say, Carpe Diem. We are alive and well. We need to seize the day. It is all we have.” “She’s right,” spoke David. “The book of the creator says the same thing. It tells us to not worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow has enough worry in itself. It also tells us, that we only have today, we may never see tomorrow. We should focus on what we can do today, yet take time to enjoy it too.” “In the Ukraine it is hard. The only thing that can help is to take each day as it comes.” She spoke further. There was a pause as everyone considered what she had said. Everyone knew what she was saying was true, but Walt. He never lived his life that way. He had always had a plan for himself. He always knew what he wanted to do and how to go about doing it. He did not ever stop to consider living for the day. To him that was absurd, the world went on and plans had to be made. “No,” he thought. “This was nonsense.” But he decided not to make an issue of it, for now.
