EACH NEW MOMENT (PART ONE)

PRESENT TIMES ARE EVER-FLEETING. A MOMENT LASTS BUT FOR LESS THAN A HUNDRETH OF A SECOND. SO, TO ALWAYS "LIVE IN THE MOMENT" IS TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF FORWARD MOTION, TO EMBRACE CURIOSITY, AND TO CONSTANTLY PURSUE HAPPINESS. IN THIS THOUGHT, THE EMOTION THAT LIES IN A MERE MOMENT IS ALSO EVER- FLEETING, AND BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO RETURN TO A MOMENT PASSED TO MAKE A CHANGE OR RE-CAPTURE AN EMOTION, EACH MOMENT GRANTS US THE OPTION TO DO OR FEEL SOMETHING DISCOVERED, A NEW HAPPINESS OR DESPAIR THAN THE MOMENT BEFORE, GOOD OR BAD, WE CHOOSE. FUTHERMORE, BECAUSE TIME AND CHANGE HAVE THE ABILITY TO SHARE A NEAR-SYNONYMOUS, YET BITTERSWEET RELATIONSHIP, WE ALSO KNOW THAT NOTHING BUT OUR OWN MEMORY ATTACHES US TO OUR PAST, AND NOTHING BUT OUR OWN MINDS CAN STOP US FROM MAKING EACH NEW MOMENT AN IMPROVEMENT FROM THE ONE BEFORE.
