Reality exists only in the "NOW"...…...time is an invention of man. The past is history and cannot be changed or altered...…….the future is yet to happen and can be effected via the free will and random happenstance...…..we live in the NOW, its a gift...….its why they call it the PRESENT. You exist only because of a creating force that is beyond the comprehension or control of any man....this force does not require your belief, your acceptance, its grace that allows you TO BE in the NOW. There is no promise, no guarantee of any future existence....what could you do if our SUN suddenly went supernova, you could only accept your fate, a fate directed by a power greater than any man. Some call it nature....some call it GOD, only the wise accept their place within this reality...…..fools pretend to be smart and in control.
Control is an illusion. Live each day as if its your last...…….one day, perhaps today, IT WILL BE. One can only attempt to make the world a better place than the world he was born into.....that is the quint essential meaning of life. Everything....EVERYTHING else is but a dream based upon imagination. The only control we have....is living in TRUTH, it sets one mind free of all the excess debris.

Every brain born has a lifetime conflict with ancestral displacement and intellectual social position within the population present. Why, life is a compounding connection between inception, conception, death, extinction life doesn't exceed what exists now.
How could you possibly think that this should go in Current Events?
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
