Alan Watts
Future, Worry, Progress
Alan Watts (1977). “The essence of Alan Watts”, Celestial Arts Publishing Company

If happiness always depends on something expected in the future, we are chasing a will-o'-the-wisp that ever eludes our grasp, until the future, and ourselves, vanish into the abyss of death.

Alan Watts
Happiness, Death, Future
Alan Watts (1951). “The Wisdom of Insecurity”, Vintage

What we see as death, empty space, or nothingness is only the trough between the crests of this endlessly waving ocean. It is all part of the illusion that there should seem to be something to be gained in the future, and that there is an urgent necessity to go on and on until we get it. Yet just as there is no time but the present, and no one except the all-and-everything, there is never anything to be gained - though the zest of the game is to pretend that there is.
