As in sports: whenever you think too far ahead, you miss what is right in front of you.
Procrastination
Tragedy
First they bomb…
First they bomb Vietnam, and I did not speak out — Because I did not live in Vietnam.
Then they bomb Iraq, and I did not speak out — Because I did not live in Iraq.
Then they bomb Yugoslavia, and I did not speak out — Because I did not live in Yugoslavia.
Then they bomb my country — and there was no one left to speak for us.
