    ...Yet most human beings spend 50 to 90 percent or more of their time in their imagination, living in fantasy. We think about what has happened to us, what might have happened, how we feel about it, how we should be different, how others should be different, how it's all a shame, and on and on; it's all fantasy, all imagination. Every memory that we stick to devastates our life."

    ..which you will never be able to enjoy. When your plans mature, you will still be living
    for some other future beyond. You will never, never be able to sit back with full contentment and say, "Now, I've arrived!" Your entire
    education has deprived you of this capacity because it was preparing you for the future, instead of showing you how to be alive now."

    If I had to sum up my thinking, I'd say it's a"not-thought". You will find me in the silence between two thoughts in succession. [Having read this, almost everyone lost patience, and left...].
    I'll explain with an improvised poem (If there was anyone left to read...):

    "Do not say 'It is morning' and dismiss it with a name of yesterday. See it for the first time as a newborn child that has no name"R.Tagore

    Consider each day as a "newborn child", that is, always different and always unique, having nothing in common with the previous one. It is because of language, which imprisons the always new and moving reality with its categories and names, that we see everything as a repetition of the already experienced.

    Every day is like a new baby, just born. It is we, out of habit, convenience, conformity and prisoners of language, who give it the same name to everyone.
