jbml thln 24 if being is always


and only a matter of presence
constituted as an effect of dialogue,
there "is" no future; no future to speak of, anyhow, and even if it is much easier, somehow,
to think of a past or pasts as existing through dialogue with the dead.

Is it any comfort to think that in any case there "is" no future?

Edmond Jabès says this as well,
that "We are all without future ~ I responded ~
Tomorrow is nothing but the hope, naively maintained,
of better days to come."

But why would we think that, when we have so many
FEARED
futures?
That all of our futures may be "imaginary" makes then no less consequential,
it only reminds us that the consequences are not necessarily a "coming to be" of that which we imagine,
hope, or
fear.
