A Homeless Blog

Past, Present, and Future

Today's blog can be confusing...because, at this point, I really don't know what I am going to talk about. Just my thoughts, I guess.

The Past. Some people, it seems, spend most of their days in the Past. And, from my own observation, they are mostly sad people. It's not that their part is all bad. It's only that they choose to cling on to the sad parts of their pasts. They are sad not because of something happens today, but from something happened some time ago. Maybe yesterday. Maybe two years ago. It makes their lives miserable. So miserable, most of the little good things in the present are often clouded by the fog from the Past. They cannot enjoy the present, let alone the future.

But of course, we cannot live without the past. The Past contains our memories. The Past, when looked upon, can sometimes make people smile even if it has just a little of good memories in it. The Past makes us who we are today.

The Present. People, who spend most of their days in the Present, are mostly happy people. At least that's what I think or what I see. These people seem to enjoy every moment of their lives...from waking up, listening to music, eating, playing, etc. Even when they have to go through a tough day at work, they confront it with courage and the will to move forward. They enjoy the present so much...they don't care how long it will last. That is because they enjoy the Present, not (enjoying) a day, a month, or a year. Just the moment.

But, again, enjoying so much the Present can just make one forget about the Past...which can mean that person completely lost his/her memory or, in a milder case, simply forget his/her mother's birthday.

The Future. If you only concentrate on the future alone, you are just plain confused. You are confused possibly because you don't know what you are doing in the Present and what the Past means to you. Some people call it daydreaming. Of course the future is uncertain, so people of the Future spend a lot of time thinking about many possible futures. Some (possible future courses) are unreasonably thought of more than others. The people of the Future never reach their destinations or have been fulfilled...because the future always run away. Afterall, Tomorrow is still a tomorrow.

Of course, without thinking about the future, one has no hope. The Future is good at keeping people in focus...keeping their chin up no matter how bad the Past has treated them and how empty the Present is.

Who are You?
