Only Now Matters.
(6)
Which brings us to the meaning of 'now.' Why is 'now' so important? Because joy can only be experienced 'now.' But 'now' is often wasted in 'then.' And 'then' is often painful. We often tend to drift away from 'now' into 'then.' The result is that our 'now' is more painful that it otherwise might have been. 'Tomorrow' is another trap for 'now.' We live in an imaginary world called, 'tomorrow.' That world can be pleasant or unpleasant. But that world is not now.
Now is the only reality. Enjoy all the aspects of Now.
