Are we living our lives moment at a time?
Let’s say you are washing the dishes after a long day of work, and you decided that you want to drink a cup of tea right after you’re done with the dishes. Now while washing the dishes you are going to be thinking about that cup of tea, in other words your not living the present time which is washing the dishes “time”, yet your are thinking ahead of time about that cup of tea. The same thing goes when you’re done with the dishes and you’re drinking the tea; in your mind, now your thinking I want to read that “X” book. So technically you’re not enjoying the cup of tea, thinking of the “X” book and so on.
Basically were not living the events at the present time, which means we are missing on little things that we don’t realize were missing on. It goes on and on; we get to the conclusion that we always fail to see our present time, trying to think of the next thing. I think this is different from multitasking in the sense that when we are multitasking we still have the sense of what were doing which brings me to think that it’s different from thinking about the next thing.
I don’t know I was wondering myself about this; if you have any interesting information please share it. Stuff like that triggers the mind to think about things that we might never actually think about it. You don’t have to agree with me; just state your opinion if you don’t mind.
