tomorrow (dict)
|
TomorrowTomorrow is the day after today; it is in the near future. In everyday speech tomorrow speaks not only of a single day but of some era that is not today and has not yet occurred. In popular culture the vision of the abstract tomorrow can be a positive one: "I'll get around to it-", "my ship will come in-", "the sun will come out-" tomorrow. There can be negative emotions attached to tomorrow as well, perhaps related to future justice, judgement or revenge. One implication of tomorrow is that an opportunity for change, action, redemption still remains; that the seemingly endless cycle of time will continue. The literal tomorrow is usually not so romanticised. "The rent is due tomorrow"; "Tomorrow is my last day on the job" - but whether a specific use of the word is to be understood as literal or abstract is not always clear. References in culture Songs and literature make great use of the obvious issue that the abstract tomorrow never comes. When the day after today arrives, then that day becomes today. Likewise the imminency of death (or other undesired events) gets quite a bit of play. According to many Holocaust survivors, saying "tomorrow" in one of the concentration camps was a slang term for "never." It is also important to know that tomorrow is the day Annie loves, it's only a day away. Tomorrow-related articles Movies: Television series: Albums: Songs: Books: People: Others:
