Thoughts on Various Subjects
Very few men, properly speaking, live at present but are providing to live another time. This statement holds a profound truth about the thoughts of society at large. Many times people spend their lives searching for more and living in anticipation for the future or dwelling on the happenings of the past rather than living for the moment. We get so caught up in accomplishing goals or waiting for an event to happen that we pass by on the simple joys of life and are blinded by our own ambition. In another case, people cannot let go of the past and hide themselves from what goes on in the world at present. Living this way does not allow people to fully enjoy what life has to offer. Society needs to slow down and smell the roses for you can't change what happened in the past and you can't predict what will happen in the future. Every day is a gift, that is why it is called the present.

Haha that last sentence was cute. You're so cute Hannah. (In a completely non awkward way lol) But yeah I agree with you. We so often get caught up in waiting for the future or dwelling in the past that we don't realize life is going on and we miss out on the little things in life.
