Jon's run: The forward-directed attitudes, I think, are these: curiosity, ambition, love, courage, hunger, duty, rage. They may be backward-formed, but they are forward-directed, moving towards the future. Fear, too, of course, is forward. No-one is afraid of yesterday. Backward-directed are all the loss reactions. Grief, of course, and regret. Boredom is backward and forward, both. Hope Wait, wait. Not here. Just stay. But you won't go? No. Never? No.   Do you sometimes wish it was me? Always. Pause. It is you.   Renata Adler Pitch Dark London:Abacus,1984.

There is no such thing as society; there are only individuals and their families. Margaret Thatcher
