It is hard to figure out whether you should live for the present or for the future! I mean, one day everyone is telling you that you should seize the moment, the other they are telling you to take it easy, you should think about the future! This may seem pointless, but consider your life:
If you choose work over love, you are considering the future; if you choose love over work, you are seizing the moment;
If you feel happy and scream in the middle of the street to show it, you are seizing the moment; if you choose to shut up, you are thinking about the future because someone might see you and think badly of you;
If you buy that thing you have always wanted, you are seizing the moment; if you don't buy it and save the money, you are thinking about the future!
As you see, sometimes one thing prevents the other from happening, so it is a difficult decision to make! Your heart puts pressure on you to enjoy life the best you can, society pressures you to think about the future and measure the consequences of all that you do. It is very hard to make a choice; I make a different choice in different situations. Sometimes it's all about the moment, other times it's all about the future. I confess most times it's about the future, it scares me that all this hard choices could be of no use to me! The future sometimes turns out to be so different, sometimes it doesn't even come... what will you think on those last few moments? I've lived a full life? I've been preparing to live a full life and never had the chance to do it? On the other hand, if future does come, what will you think? I didn't take the proper measures to have a peaceful future, now I'm paying for it? Finally I have the peace I've always wanted, thank God I made those difficult choices in the past? Nobody knows what will happen, so nobody knows what they will think. I will go on making the easier choices and hopping the hard ones were correct, what else can I do?
Should we content with being one step closer but not knowing if we'll ever get there, or should we take the final step towards everything we want not knowing if that means that in the future we could lose everything?
If you have a solution to this, please share it with me! I see no other way!
