What is always slow to come, but never actually happens?

Illustration for riddle: What is always slow to come, but never actually happens?

Tomorrow

Why this works

This riddle plays with the concept of time and expectations. "Tomorrow" is always anticipated but never truly arrives; when it does, it becomes "today." The wordplay here hinges on the idea that we think of tomorrow as something that is always in the future—slow to arrive—yet it never actually manifests as a separate entity; it continuously shifts into the present. This clever twist on time makes the answer both elusive and thought-provoking!

❌

Common Wrong Answers

“A train”

A train can be scheduled to arrive at a specific time, and while it may be late, it eventually does arrive.

“A deadline”

Deadlines are specific dates and times that do arrive and must be met, unlike the abstract concept of tomorrow.

“A vacation”

Vacations are planned events that occur in the future and do happen, rather than being an indefinite time that never arrives.
