If tomorrow ceased to exist the day after, in other words, while today exists and two days from now exists, what would you do if tomorrow came and you learned it would be totally forgotten? Stricken from the record? That whatever you did/didn't do tomorrow would have no impact on the future of the world?
What would you do differently, or would you just continue as is?

"He had lived through an age when men and women with energy and ruthlessness but without much ability or persistence excelled. And even though most of them had gone under, their ignorance had confused Roy, making him wonder whether the things he had striven to learn, and thought of as 'culture,' were irrelevant. Everything was supposed to be the same: commercials, Beethoven's late quartets, pop records, shopfronts, Freud, multi-coloured hair. Greatness, comparison, value, depth: gone, gone, gone. Anything could give some pleasure; he saw that. But not everything provided the sustenance of a deeper understanding." - Hanif Kureishi, Love in a Blue Time
