lol sounds like some essay question.
Yes... most of us are so often stuck in the content of our
thoughts.. dwelling in past, avoiding the present, or seeking the
future. Instead of really appreciating every moment in
life...
Even if you're bankrupt, you are heading to the Court to sign some
papers, you can still be present and mindful. People walk by, the
bus comes, you enter the bus, you arrive at the Court, you sign
some papers, and move into your friend's house, perhaps smaller but
that is just so. The mind does not have to be agitated. We also
don't have to be obsessed with wanting some fantastic future or
spend our whole life trying to seek a better future... but learn to
enjoy whatever is present, to embrace it, and at the same time
doing our best for tomorrow. But this is the action of non-action,
we do what we need to do without attachment to outcome. I think we
should appreciate every moment as it is, not as a means to an
end.
Life is short so no point dwelling too much into such things.. 10
years later or 100 years later, does anything we think now matter
anymore?
