The best life is to live in the present.

We are always busy with the trivia of life, or busy with the rush of work, inevitably perfunctory close to the people around us. Parents who have worked hard for us all their lives are "consciously" not wanting to add more trouble to us. The next time, it becomes a mantra we often blurt out, but never deliver.

We always put hope on "another day","next time", but forget that life should be living in the present.

For I live neither in the past nor in the future; all I have is the present, and I am interested only in the present.

If you can always grasp the present, you can become a happy person. You will find life in the desert, stars in the night sky, and warriors fighting because it is part of human life.

Life is a festival, a feast, because it is always, and only, this moment we are experiencing.

Paul Coelio says this in The Fantastic Journey of the Shepherd Boys.

"Living in the moment" is a familiar proposition in people's lives, but few people can give accurate answers.

Looking around, nostalgia for the past and panic about the future have become the dominant themes of modern life.

Songs sing about the past, movies show unforgettable memories, and friends repost articles selling anxiety such as "Your peers are abandoning you."

People either indulge in the beauty and regret of the past, or tend to the fantasy and unwillingness of tomorrow, live in the past, live in the future, but do not seriously live in the present.

People can have the past, but they should not let the past interfere with the present life too much. The past cannot be traced. Addiction to the past is a disappointment to the present.

Doris Lessing wrote in Memoirs of Survivor:

Bored as a child, looking forward to growing up. After growing up, I yearn to return to childhood. We waste our health to gain personal wealth, and then we waste our wealth to rebuild our health.

We look anxiously into the future and forget about life in front of us. Live neither for the present nor for the future. We live as if we will never die, and we die as if we never lived.

With the development of the times and the change of social reality, the information explosion environment brought by the Internet makes the connection between people closer, and the contrast gap between people is more obvious. In this context, people need to bear the burden of the future is also getting heavier and heavier,"anxiety" has become the contemporary word, anxiety for school, anxiety for employment, anxiety for family life, anxiety for the days after aging.

Everyone is in a hurry, everyone is panicking about the future.

People can't live in endless worry about tomorrow, as if the present is destined to sacrifice for the future, and worrying about it now doesn't really solve problems, as Hemingway said:

Today is just one day of all the days to come.

But what happens in the future depends on what you do today.

Steadily take every step of the present, in order to walk out of a path leading to a better future for themselves.

Of course, living in the present is not the same as escaping. We should live in the happiness of the present, but also live in the pain of the present, feel the pain, and then change it so that the pain becomes happiness in the future.

Do not regret the past, do not fear the unknown, the best life is to live in the present.

Well, today's Xiaobian science popularization is over here, we'll see you next time.
