"That the bird has no “next day” is certain enough. Therefore be like the bird; remove the next day and then you are without the care of self-torment – and this can be done just because the next day lies in the self. One the other hand, let today drop away almost entirely in comparison with the next day’s trouble, and then you are deepest in self-torment. It all is the difference of one day – and yet what an enormous difference!"
