is to live for this moment. This moment is as precious any past or future moment. So why treat it as futile? Thinking about future is sometimes scary and inevitably sows the seeds of disappointments. I don't think this as a pessimistic call but just being pragmatic about our limited ability to control future. Keeping limited expectations or even better, not to expect anything probably is the hardest thing for any human to accept. Each day left with Max, I try to reinforce this truth into my head. After all our brains are plastic and someday hopefully this fact will be permanently re-wired under my skull.
Sometimes I do think Schophenhauer was right about one thing - happiness is nothing but lack of suffering. Isn't keeping expectations at bay the best way to avoid suffering?
