I’m tired of people telling me to “live in the now.” The minute you recognize the ‘now,’ it’s ‘then.’ So you try for the next now, but that’s then too.

Out of frustration you try to put ‘now’ into the future, but just far enough so you can get to it. But ‘now’ it’s ‘when.’ Your past becomes your ‘then’ and your future becomes your ‘when’ and no matter how hard you try, ‘NOW’ is some fleeting moment between then and when; only to become ‘then’ the minute you call it NOW!

So you try and outsmart it. You jump into a WHEN hoping to make it NOW: But you’re too late…Your WHEN just hit NOW… And NOW it’s THEN.

George Carlin did a piece about this. There is only the future and the past, the present passes before us in a fraction of a second.
