I agree with the thrust of your linked article.
Once the conditioned thinking that time (past/present/future) has to be always linear is overcome, for me it makes the present more important; with regards to choices as well as actions. This does not mean that we are always going to make the 'right' choice, I'm content with this arrangement as learning by a mistake is a natural way to improve. Repeating that mistake indicates other factors at play. |
