Consider…
Saturday, May 10, 2025
If the past and future were as real as this moment, you could be there, like you’re here now. But you can’t, you can only imagine you’re there. So evidently they only exist in your mind, in your memories and your imagination. They are not real. They can be relevant for teaching or planning, but they will never exist like this moment exists. This moment is what life is. Live this moment to its fullest. Momento mori, remember you will die, you are dying. Every moment may be the last one you get.
“Each of us lives only now, this brief instant. The rest has been lived already, or is impossible to see.” ― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
