We can't keep living like this! If you really critically think about this, if we continuously think about the past and what we could be doing in the future, we're never really experiencing the 'here and now' - in other words, we're not truly experiencing. We are simply agents of thought, consumed with the ideas of before and after, never actually now. It's crazy, isn't it?!?!

So why is it that we can't stop this train of thought? (Literally, going back and forward)...
Well, I have a couple of ideas.
First, our society dictates that we're supposed to feel retribution for our actions, that we need to think critically about subjects, to contemplate life's happenings, to think about what we did and really learn from it. Yeah, that's all well and good, but how much of what we've done in the past do we truly and seriously learn from? Not much, I'd say. At least, not enough to keep thinking about it constantly and not living in the real moment.
I propose a radical concept here: Forget the past, dispose of your thoughts of the future, just for today. And think about just moving...Moving forward and continuously in motion...Floating, coasting, evolving. This is living.
Try it. Just for a while. You might see that you really enjoy it.
Now that's life changing.
