Recently, I realized something. One of my relative who was healthy got the brain cancer and whole world around him is flipped.
I was thinking we just have only this present moment only and we do not know what will happen in future.
We should sure prepare for future but enjoy the every moment. Buy latte if you need it and you want to enjoy that moment than sure buy it. You do not know you will be able to spend that $5 again or not or enjoy that again.

- gnusty_gnurc 7y agoThis is such a slippery slope argument that gets repurposed for other situations. But it's always fundamentally that uncertainty means we should discount the future. Well guess what? Our default condition as human beings born into the world is deprivation, uncertainty, insecurity and suffering. If everyone of the past used the "live in the moment" argument to discount saving or having children, we'd never see society advance.
