"Live in the moment and enjoy every second because it can be gone in the next second. It was from fairy tale to a nightmare." -Petra Nemcova
We, the western society, as well as much of society as a whole, does not live in the moment. We worry about the past and future. We worry about material items and what people think about us. We watch the superficial reality television shows and shop for bigger, brighter and better things. We have lost the essence of living. It is times like the tragedy in Japan that we realize the universe is much more powerful than humans. We realize we are not in control of anything. We realize that we must embrace and feel each moment of each day for each day truly is a gift given to us by this universe. As the Na'vi in the movie Avatar believed, we all exist on this earth on borrowed energy. One day, we must give our energy back to the universe.
