    %INTENTION BURDENS CLUTTER LATER HONESTY FINITE 891025

     We often burden ourselves with vague intentions to do
something later;  in keeping papers,  unfinished projects,
commitments,  etc.  which burden us with more to be  done,
than there will ever be real time in which to do them.

     Vague  intentions to later  do more than it  will  be
possible to do, are dishonest intentions which will burden
us with promises made to ourselves/others,  and burden  us
with  the  guilt associated with our inability to  fulfill
such  promises.   We would do better to develop an  honest
budget of our time, and more realistically plan to do only
what  we  can  realistically  hope  to  get  done  in  the
foreseeable future.

     Much  of the clutter of our lives accumulates through
procrastination which puts off into the future all that we
want to do now,  but for which there is not enough time to
do  in the present.  Dishonesty about our limited time  is
dishonesty about our finitude,  about the fact that we are
born,  live only so many years, and die. It is not wise to
pretend otherwise,  and to intend to do in a vague future,
more than can be done in a whole lifetime.
