Hey...it's OK to "live in the present", Steve, if that is what you are saying. I have no problem with that. However, for me, it all seems rather pointless; the concept that "life has no purpose but itself". Seems as if we, as thinking beings have evolved to a degree where this kind of thinking makes us (most of us) a bit uneasy. I know it makes me feel that way. I would feel somehow disconnected and incomplete if my concept of life was limited to the idea that it has no meaning other than the moment.
"There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
Just my take on life. Everything is temporary, changable, and tenuous. To think otherwise is foolish. You truly "own" nothing.

Respectfully, your thinking seems to be why humans created religion and gods.
It is my opinion that "now" and every single moment I am alive is important; not waiting or imagining something that may or may not exist. Make the best of what's around
now. I find life deep, profound and rich in emotion and meaning, not always good but always real.
One "owns" every moment and from that ownership can find fulfillment and meaning . . . or wait for potentially nothing.
Best,
Kurt
