Order & Sanity (Moments)

Life is made up of several moments. I've been really debating whether or not life is one long chain which we only experience in the moment.

For example, a string of a guitar is just a string. But you hit it in different places and you will get a different effect (different notes). So while you're having all these seemingly separate moments in your life, they are really all part of the same string. You are just hitting life in different places due to randomness and curiosity.

The most sane thing anyone can do is live in the moment. If we always feel pleasure or contentment "living in the now" (as Eckhart Tolle has taught) then life will begin to come so easily. Living in the moment is basically letting go and understanding your power, but also understanding your limits and capacities. Life is always "now". Read "Power of Now" if you haven't already...

Think of tormented regret or the desperate need for revenge, both of which have to do with living in the past. Or, pathological fears and concerns regarding the future (end-of-times prophesies and such). Both are examples of a mind out of it's own control: insanity in other words.

The ONLY sane thing anyone can do is live in the moment.
