tratas - trippin' round a sistact lyrics

alan watts speaking…
my goodness, don’t you remember
when you went first to school
you went to kindergarten
and in kindergarten, the idea was to push along so that you could get into first grade
and then push along so you could get into second grade and third grade
going up and up
and then you went to high school and this was a great transition in life
and now the pressure is being put on
you must get ahead, you must go up the grades
and finally be good enough to get to college
and then when you get to college, you’re still going step by step, step by step
up to the great moment in which you’re ready to go out into the world
and then when you get out into this famous world… comes…
the struggle for success and profession of business
and again there seems to be a ladder before you
something for which are reaching all the time
and then…
suddenly, when are about forty or forty+five years old in the middle life
you wake up one day and say…
…
…i’ve arrived
and by jove i feel pretty much the same as i’ve always felt
in fact i’m not so sure that i don’t feel a little bit cheated
because you see you were fooled
you were always living
for somewhere
where you aren’t
and while as i’ve said it is of tremendous use for us
to be able look ahead in this way and to plan…
there is no use planning for a future
which when you get to it and it becomes the present, you won’t be there
you’ll be living in some other future which hasn’t yet arrived
and so in this way one is never able
actually to inherit and enjoy the fruits of one’s actions
you can’t live at all
unless you can live fully
now
