Hard
Everything that's happened matters now.
That it mattered then matters now.
It matters because it happened
and because it happened there is now.
We may not know how much or how
(how would we? it's hard).
Cause is confused but certain.
What happens now matters now,
and will therefore matter later.
How much and in what ways
we cannot know (how could we? it's hard).
