Wandering mind...

A friends blog made me think...We live in present continuous and hence change is constant. Mind has an ability to twist facts of past and blow up the future good/bad to enormity. The things that you plan for future in the present, when truly become present might not even be anything of what you imagined and your reactions might be so different. So when you plan in your present for future, you actually are making your present an experience worth experiencing with feelings, emotions and passion. It basically makes you. Its just that it is so fast, that it cannot be time bound in a frame like past or future. Its the only real thing. Agreed the surreal unpredictable vision of future makes it worth living. Nature knows no past or future but it still thrives happily, but we relate to reality as if it were a finished event or an inevitable future, since we are so quick to judge outcomes. We live to attain happiness in future - happiness by success, social work, fame, money whatever it is. So basically we generate synthetic happiness and hope, the ingredients required to live in present. Future supports our realistic present.
