between Joy and Sorrow?
Why do we jump
from yesterday to tomorrow?
Because of our ignorance, we human beings live, we cry, and we die. Have you ever thought why? It is because of this constant shuttling to the past that is gone and then to a future not yet born. In this swinging to yesterday, then tomorrow and back to yesterday again, we experience moments of joy and sorrow. We don't realize that true happiness is in the present moment, in the 'now'. We search for happiness in the wrong places. Soon, life will escape us. It's time to stop and live on the island of today, enjoying the ocean of bliss that surrounds us. Let us stop this shuttling with the monkey that is our own mind.
