Some people say future and past don't exist, that you should live in the moment.

Then, I ask you: why do we have children?
How could we reach the level of knowledge we have today?
We build on top of each other, on top of the past, and the past is the very thing that forges us, the very reason we are what we are.
Living in the moment means saying that we shouldn't be concerned about our planet, about the fact that we are running out of resources.

Truth is, we already are living in the moment.
Truth is, we already are living like animals, ignoring the future.

On the other hand, ignoring the future can ease the pain of acknowledging what life actually is, just like ignoring the past does.
But no amount of deep insight and knowledge can be obtained without any price.

No pain, no gain.

Are you ready to accept reality and fight to seek knowledge, or do you prefer living in your shell, in your own reality?

Neither is wrong.
Reality is what
you choose it is.
Make your choice.
And be proud of it.
Because it's yours.

...

Hey!
There's no need to feel down:
This is the little gleam of light that shines through all this.
Life is wonderful because it's nothing and everything at the same time.

Smoke,
like these words.



That,
Is the Secret of Life.
Just some thoughts I had recently :)
Thank you everyone for your very kind happy birthdays! (Two days ago I became 23)
