Question
Why do we live our lives striving towards the future?
Is it just me, or every minute of your life are you always looking forward to something, whether its your dinner, the weekend, or just something slightly interesting happening in your life? Are we ever just happy in the moment, or happy to meet each thing as it happens?
Answer
Escapism. Some people escape into the past as well as the future. Its easy enough either place is completely inside your head.brbrAnd if you spend all your time living in your head instead of experiencing the world around you, then maybe you dont have to care or worry about the world around you. You can wash your hands of your life and the whole universe because you have a different universe all to yourself to spend all your time in.brbrPeople do it because its easy. Living in the moment and dealing with the mindnumbing vastness of the present is hard. Its, sadly, just another form of suicide.
