Life is simple: you live it.
You keep worrying about the ifs of every decision you take, be it big or small and a time comes when you stop in shock only to realize life ran before you could catch it.
The longest living and the shortest living will never be different for their lives will always amount to one.
“You cannot lose another life than the one you’re living now or live another life other than the one you’re losing now” — Marcus Aurelius
You think to yourself what your life could’ve been if only your past didn’t turn out the way it did. You look with hope at a future where everything will be fine.
Your future will to a certain degree reflect your present.
The only concrete aspect of time is the present. The past and the future are merely illusions of our own mind. To seek simplicity in life is to be mindful of the present moment.
