B. Yeats). Are we always <em>preparing</em> to live\, in a way that overlooks something important about here and now? I'll offer a Buddhist perspective on why that tends to happen\, and what the alternative might be.</p>\n\n<p>Professor Max Charlesworth was a Philosopher and Foundation Dean of the School of Humanities at Deakin University.
