The eternal now...
Recessions, Popping Candy & Blame
When I was at school, an unpopular kid invited the whole year to an expensive party at his house. I can’t remember what the invite promised but everyone went. Must have been unlimited popping candy for everyone, all afternoon, or something.
As we left, he stood at the door and said to every single person leaving, “That means you have to invite me to your party now...”
Needless to say, he didn’t get invited to any party again ever. He thought reciprocation would make up for the fact that no one liked him. He was strange. The sort of kid who might invite everyone around to his house for a popping candy party.
My point is, that one thing doesn’t equal another. The past doesn’t equal the future. It can’t. There is only now. The eternal now.
Take the UK recession, for example. And the media frenzy about who is to blame? [A Chinese bat - and a bat-shit-crazy Russian, maybe?].
It happened. It’s gone. Who cares. Move on FFS.
No one has invented the time machine as far as I know, and no one can predict the future. We are in the eternal now. That’s it.
Think about yesterday for a moment. Where are you thinking about it? In the eternal now. Think about tomorrow. Where are you thinking about it? In the eternal now.
There is only now. Only was and only ever will be. And what YOU do with the eternal now is entirely down to you. Because no one else is to blame.
Popping candy anyone?
In the meantime, have a great week, learn heaps, love loads, and then pass it on.
