This Moment


I wanted to expand on a throw away line I used to end “The RightTime” a few weeks ago.

Be in the moment. After all this moment is the only thing that is real.”

Its a good line. Seems pretty deep. Makes me sound like a thinker and stuff, but what do I really mean. What I don't mean is live life to the fullest because tomorrow you might die. I do not like that cliché and covered it in “Some Words of Wisdom From Steve Jobs.”

My point is that now is the only time that is real. The past is just a memory and the future is an illusion. This exact moment in time is the only thing that is real. Not the beginning of this blog or the end. Just right now. This sentence is the only thing that is real. Now that sentence is not real. It is the past and this one is real.

Now nobody pull the quantum mechanics card on me. I'm not talking about possibilities I'm talking about how human beings actually experience time. Linearly and forward. What does this all mean? Not much, but maybe it helps us understand the human experience just a little better.
