Sean's entire existence is the essence of the title of this story.  He seems to have no direction.  He goes from one fleeting moment to the next until he finally comes to a moment of understanding at the end.  It was as if his father had suspended Sean's fate not just Sean himself.  Since the time in 1942, he did things based on desire.  There isn't much in the story that is based on logical reasoning.  He is intelligent, but his emotions have too much control over him.  I thoroughly enjoyed this story and I appreciated that it didn't end in death as I suspected it might.
