The future's not ours to see, que cera cera

I wonder what it's like, to drop everything - every routine, comfort, worry, goal, ambition, fear, responsibility, expectation, inhibition - entirely, and just live for each day without the future in mind.

I wonder what it's like, to be aware and present in each moment, without having a constant projection of ourselves into the future - be it images of success or failure.

I wonder what it's like, a life without expectations, implicit or explicit, without responsibilities, without constraints.

Why have we been brought up to live for the future when the 'future' is Time that does not belong to us ?

The rationale behind our every action now is the hope for a better future, for something more important in the future. All this, at the expense of what truly matters in the present.
