I’ve been wondering lately why I lack ambition, its probably from my nihilistic tendencies. I don’t really know if I want to change enough to change. This was a nice post, read the whole thing.
At about the same time, I was noticing that people can exist in the same general place and yet inhabit different time. Some people live for the moment, others are stuck in the past, and some live in the future. You can identify people’ time zones by their conversation. People who live in the past will compare everything now to something that went before, or tell you how the past made them what they are. The lucky people who live in the present will talk about their immediate environment. And the people living in the future will talk about their plans or predictions.
