In that prison all living is for tomorrow. All gratification must be deferred. Anybody who is presently gratified is suspect of violating some rule, because all justification and gratification should occur in or in terms of tomorrow. Thus joy is suspect. Justification by tomorrow places power in the hands of technocrats who have specialized in predicting the consequences of today's decisions and actions. To them immediate fulfillment is irrelevant because it cannot be computed and processed---to arrive at intellectual conclusions. Only measurable quantities are relevant, since only such quantities are usable in their predictive computations. They operate in terms of laws of cause and effect, of probabilities. Those consequences which are regarded as most probable are regarded as the ones which we must expect. No behavior should ever be predicated upon the hope for a miracle which is beyond reasonable expectation according to their technocratic consideration of probabilities. Justification by tomorrow originates in today's goal- oriented behavior which is exclusive of meaning and satisfaction in the eternal now. The ultimate concern grows to be fulfillment of expectations tomorrow---but by the rules, tomorrow may never come. When the clock reaches tomorrow, the clock of tomorrow is no longer the appointed hour for just living. The just are not permitted to live by faith---they must live by goals for tomorrow which will justify them tomorrow through the future fruits of their works. Today is eternally the appointed day for work which will bring justification tomorrow. For this reason the sabbath is turned into a day appointed day for religious work under the leadership of a priesthood of god's self-appointed caretakers. They seek justification by how well they take care of god's universe of eternal waiting for tomorrow to come with justification, fulfillment, and joy in return for filling every today with "good works".
