Human existence can
be broken down
Into three layers:
Past,
Present,
And Future.
Past is the thickest layer,
The layer where all the life events until now exist.
Present is a layer as thin as possible,
Constantly moving and changing
Along with the human.
Future is an untouchable layer, an idea-
A layer of possibilities.
Past is a layer offering warmth and comfort.
When Present changes too fast
And the human feels discomforted
By the unfamiliar change,
The human can live in the Past.
Staying here for too long
Can cause the human to lose sight of the future,
Being too far away to get a glimpse of it.
Living in the Future
Means living for an idea, a possibility
And never quite grasping the present.
Losing touch with reality
Means losing the most essential part of life.
Learning to live in the Present
Means taking on challenges
And being willing to overcome obstacles
Knowing that it isn’t as easy as living
In the comforting Past or harmless Future,
But also knowing that living in the Present
Means living in the moment
And that is the only way for life
To mean anything at all.
