RE: Thoughts from a Pond park | Ambitious vs Overambitious: The ambiguity of having enough
This is something I think about probably too much. In a world where information is exponentially increasing, our basic human instincts are still ever present. Competition, procreation, comfortability, and status drive us into this "build a better tomorrow" mindset. It's easy to forget that tomorrow doesn't exist, and never will. We are here NOW, and that is that.
Collectively speaking, it's my opinion that futuremindedness leads to anxiety, pastmindedness leads to depression, and presentmindedness leads to serenity.
I'm gonna have to disagree on one thing, and say you definitely sound like aphilosophicalsoul to me :)
Very well written @anomadsoul!
This is so true man, I like how you put it down. As you say, the main problem is that we are taught about planning for the future, but not about enjoying the present, when in reality, the present is the only concrete thing we have, the future is something that may or may not happen.
Aphilosophical soul :) Thanks man, I try, sometimes it goes out right, sometimes I just vomit shitposts :P
