But that will drive you nuts with the infamous trio of conjecture, assumption and speculation. DB says to just look at results, the "baby steps". I'll take it one further and say, just enjoy what is, without wondering why. After all, that's what you have in reality, why torment yourself second guessing everything? Today is not tomorrow, and tomorrow may be better yet, so why so focused on obscure things you'll never know the answer to when today is here and tomorrow lies ahead?
