You go on dreaming, imagining beautiful things for the coming days, the future. But in moments when danger is imminent, then suddenly you become aware that there may be no future, no tomorrow, that this is the only moment you have got. So times of disaster are very revealing. They dont bring anything new in the world; they simply make you aware of the world as it is. They wake you up. If you dont understand this, you can go mad; if you understand this, you can become awakened.
