Do you have the habit of confiding in a diary, or noting down the day's events in a journal?
It came across my mind the other day, if everything is impermanent, or that you should be living in the present, will there be a need for diaries or journals?
what would than be the point of noting down your memories or feelings, since they have already passed, and that it is not "reality"?
mankind likes to hold on to something, even things that are not solid, not valuable, not useful. how else do you explain resentment, grudges, hatred?
even memories are tightly guarded. but what are they?, beyond the past that will not (most of the time) re-occur? Living in the past will only hinder your time in the present. even that brief moment of savoring means you are wasting that few precious seconds.
time can slip away from us so rapidly (tho we might have numerous lifetimes left), so make the most out of it. yet at the same time, bearing in mind the nature of reality. [sounds like a contradiction, but it can make sense]
