A Quote by Nicholas Serota
We care too much about what happens to be there as a result of history. I worry even more that we care too much for the past and not enough for the present and the near present.

When people are too present, too familiar or too in our face, something happens to us psychologically. We begin to tune them out, we begin to get sick of them, we begin to know them so well and become so familiar with who they are that we loose a bit of respect for them. You pass a certain threshold with the fact that you're too present in their lives, too much in their face and once that threshold is passed you're never going to repair it they have lost a certain respect for you.
Why should you trouble yourself about the future? You do not even properly know about the present. Take care of the present, the future will take care of itself.
