Too much faith in the future

Little importance is given to the present moment

Yes, you are right Mister. It’s more important to be future-oriented than past-oriented. Yes, aspiration, ambition, belief, hope and all of that are big but come on! I declare that putting yourself on pause is equally important. You gotta wait, relax, meditate, and breathe consciously. It’s a must. It’s called The Power of Now.

Without a present, there is no future. All three, whether you like it or not, work together. That is: Past, Present and Future.

I don’t know about you, but to me, it all seems crazy. These future fanatic fanboys projecting themselves at 20–30 years time. My head is spinning like a chimpanzee’s in a Manillac Disco. It hurts!

“I’m a future oriented man.” It’s a joke! “My view is on the long term.” I say Bullshit! It’s just like: “I’m self-made” You hear these idiocracies sometimes. Pure imbeciles.

The state is a notable winner. The state is all in on the future. They calculate stuff not only for 20–30 years but even for 50 to 60. Take the climate urgency for instance… It’s all about the transition they say. They… The World Leaders…. The Usual Suspects if you ask me.

The worst is with our tax money. I’d say it’s rather good to pay taxes. Do we all agree?

— “No” you said? Did I hear you correctly? — You did. — Well, you’re not totally wrong I guess.

Jokes aside, there are times when you’re better off not paying the so-called “taxes” and investing in your passions instead. They don’t even know how to spend it anyway.

Actually, they over-spend it the bastards! They are constantly in debt. Silly morons. I should stop insulting them. What do you think? They saved us from Covid after all; or did they? I’m laughing when I shouldn’t. I know, it’s rather lame.

Life is life boys & girls! Just laugh about it. Do Invest in humor.

Do they honestly believe that the future generations will pay? I think that that’s what they think. Can somebody tell them to come back to Earth? Right at this instant! That’s what I call putting too much faith in the future. “Buy now, Pay later.” Fuck Off! The future will solve today’s problems. A rather insane way of looking at life. I say bravo. I’m impressed. We live in a delusional fairytale, one in which tomorrow will be better than today.

— Aren't you impressed Bob? — You are telling me that you are fascinated by their way of managing life? — I’m being sarcastic Bob. I’m obliged to lift the middle finger. — Liam, me too as a matter of fact. Let’s lift it at the same time, shall we?

The promise of tomorrow… Shut Up with tomorrow! I want it now! Now is the time. Tomorrow is not a time. Is it Groundhog Day?

There is too much progress and not enough slowdowns. It’s all dreams and illusions. It’s fairytale thinking. “The present is overshadowed by the promise of what lies ahead.” Hooray, we are living on the clouds. Is it the enchanting clouds? It could very well be.

— But seriously, the pursuit of innovation is making me tired. I’d like to argue that it’s time to go to bed. Phil? — I’d like to argue to that we are not busy enough doing nothing. Look at me, I’m a professional nothing-player. I’m really good at it!

It’s what I call a fixation on the future. Care to pause to reflect? No thank you, I’m a slave of the future, there is no time for now.

If you have not yet realised, the big question is WHY. It’s as simple as that: Why in the name of Jefferson, will tomorrow resolve today’s problems? Can you tell me? I can tell you that it’s pure bananas! Pink bananas because we do want colours, okay?

The actual moment is the precious one; that’s how I’d like to consider it so don’t act like the state. Don’t make me pay for the future. I don’t believe in the search for an always better future. Only clowns believe that.

The present moment is reduced to a metaphor, a joke in a certain way. Yes? No? Make up your mind!

If you do not mind, I’ll work on the present moment without forgetting the future. The future will arrive… do not worry. Live the present, please. You’ll be happier, your life will have purpose and you’ll be more motivated.

It’s now time to listen to Bob Marley. Wanna be in sync with your body? Mind, Body, and Spirit all in one. The Devine! Be a professional hippie. Less stress and no worrying. Focus on the Now.
