More about the present moment

This puts matters into perspective - especially for those people who complain that we really have to think about the past and the future:
“One has to live in the present. Whatever is past is gone beyond recall; whatever is future remains beyond one’s reach, until it becomes present. Remembering the past and giving thought to the future are important, but only to the extent that they help one deal with the present.”
