Some days the time moves abruptly. You wake up and realize that today has passed before you knew. But it's not the day that you miss. You miss the feelings, interactions, opportunities, and moments to rejoice, is what you miss. Our mind is foggy with thoughts and our day is run by that foggy brain. With that, we don’t really get to grasp the true essence of the day. What did you learn today? I don’t know I was in a fugue state. Yesterday was kind of like that for me. I watched six episodes of a TV series yesterday. And the only thing I felt was when a character was murdered, and I felt quite upset because she died. The death of a tv character was all I felt yesterday. I mean, that was the most significant thing I take notice of as of now.
We think too much and feel too
little. As Alan Watts said “A person who thinks all the time has nothing to
think about except thoughts. And he loses touch with reality.” Some days go by. But the next day, if we’re willing to, it gets better. But what about “Seize
the day” type mentality. I couldn’t seize the day yesterday. Does that mean I
have failed? Or what about “It’s just a bad day. It will get better tomorrow.”
I mean what is the deal here? Am I supposed to seize the day or am I supposed
to let the bad ones go? Should I seize the bad day too?
I have pasted a note on my working table that says “This day is your entire life.” That means taking into account each day because we can only live today. We cannot live yesterday nor tomorrow. If so what about bad days? That one day according to my note, is my entire life. So is wasting a day, wasting a life? Is one bad day, one bad life? Because this day is all the life we can live. The present-day. I don’t know. Maybe I have too many thoughts.
