- when there is no answer
i heard a couple eye-openers today (ha ha), which i had forgotten i knew. here they are:
-one cannot lessen loneliness by listening to someone else, but only when someone else listens to you.
-life is all about perception. when you get your perception right, the rest will follow.
-You can’t compare yourself to other people, you don’t know how messed up they are.
These got me thinking.
Is it reasonable for me to be woefully depressed and negative all the time? To waste my life this way?
People who live in the past, will never be happy. Constant regret and longing, for what could have been, might have been, should have been.
People who live in the future, will also never achieve contentment. They are always waiting for something to happen, something that will make everything better. but, that something never comes. it’s always replaced by some new future goal.
To be completely happy, you have to live in the moment. Forget the past. Forget the future. Live in the now. Regret nothing. And just... live.
See only opportunities and challenges.
[Ed’s note – so... this was my feeble attempt at motivating myself.. did i convince anybody? ... ]

Sure. You convinced me.
But I still think living in the future is better. There are robots in the future--robots that fight the vampire pirates so you don't have to. Now that's progress.
