Can you be completely present in every moment? Is that the perfect life? But, if it is, are you sacrificing the joy of building something with others? Conversely, if you are present with someone, but feel anxious or worried or hopeful about the future, is that both absurd, but also a fundamental part of what it means to be human?
Think about your past… How many things in it happened as expected? How predictable has your life been based on how you thought it would turn out? So how likely is it that the thing (or things) you fear will happen as you expect them?
Time is that by virtue of which everything becomes nothingness in our hands and loses all real value. Just because my dog Chunky gets excited when I come home doesn’t mean that he remembers me. Our view of nature is skewed in a way that if it must act in similar ways for us, or else render itself not useful.…
The past is not an indicator of (and definitely doesn’t prove) the future. But maybe the past doesn’t even prove the past. Our perceptions and memories all twist with time, but maybe the past get can totally twisted in ways it’s hard to imagine… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SaLCdhj_5Q
We often fear the unknown. In fact, maybe most of our fears are about things that might happen. Or maybe not. So if you’re tossing up a decision between one thing or another, especially when it’s between two things you value, imagine both of them (independently). Picture it in microscopic detail, what do you look like, what do you feel like, where…
The problem with the things we don’t want to talk about is exactly that: we don’t want to talk about them. But often, and I would argue that always, the things we most consciously avoid talking about are the things we most need to, as they are the most important things. Even in trivial instances, say for example when you…
Anything you do, whether it was a mistake or something you did that wish didn’t happen, here’s all the surefire ways to change the past. Ready? Here they are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. You’re welcome. You can’t do it. So focus on your present, learning about yourself and doing what you understand is best for you and who…
If something sucks, or worse, is terrible, do we suffer? Maybe you think yes. Is that situation of suffering definite (at least in your current perception of reality)? Maybe you also think yes. And is your current reality 100% certain and present (at least in your own perception)? Maybe that’s another yes. So why do we suffer because of maybes? Are…
Your future is decided by you. It isn’t set. Every day, there are hundreds, or thousands of decisions you make in your own mind of how to deal with things and what they mean to you. But nothing is decided. You may not decide the things that happen out of your control, but you do decide how you see them.…
Tomorrow and yesterday were at a distance. – Snufkin There’s a theory that the only real you that exists is the one you are now. And the only moment that exists is this one right now. And that’s one’s now gone (ie. doesn’t exist anymore). You don’t live in the future (or die in it either) –you live and die…
