The River

Greek philosopher Heraclitus said: "You can not step twice into the same river, for other waters are continually flowing on". As the water that we touch is continuously the last that has passed and the first that is coming, thus are our life experiences: a never-ending movement that can be lived only one instant at the time. The past is gone and done with. The future does not exist yet. All we actually have is the present moment. Therefore... why worry about what is only mere abstraction instead of concentrating on and making the best out of what is here, "now"?
