70. A fool's love

Don't love the past.
Are you a fool?
Don't you see that the past
Has disappointed you
And
Deserted you?

Don't love the future.
Are you a fool?
Don't you see that the future
Is ignorant of you
And
Indifferent to you?

Don't love the present.
Are you a fool?
Don't you see that the present
Is not pleasing you
And
Not fulfilling you?
