Knowledge is dour.
We are now weathered by the damning knowledge of years–by the shift from blind confidence to grim, pragmatic understanding. Now, we counter the disappointing and inevitable with doomed longing for all outcomes to defy the proof of experience, despite our familiarity.

As a well known German political author puts it: “I come from the future. I lived in the GDR (former russian controlled east Germany).”
