I would it say that it makes sense to prophecise one's will beyond hope.

Example:
"I do what I ought to, so it goes the way it should."

Doing what the moment now predicates is indeed evil (vengeance) manifest. I see ants, Londoner's, terra firma itself, establishing the truth that the way it is is the way it is. I honestly think that people could use a little self-exertion, where the future is concerned.
