A Promise To Oneself

We humans, we tend to do a lot of things reflexively as an instinct. If we cannot fight, we flight. When we flight, we spend a majority of our time thinking. We tend to dwell on a lot of bad memories. We tend to grieve on our problems for way too long. And even if we try to get ourselves out of the thought cycle we find ourselves failing. Why would that be? I mean we as humans can not guarantee the next breath we take, can we? Then why bother about the future that I am not even sure of? I mean every single one of us suffers from something or the other, whether we show it or not. We are all suffering. So if my suffering today will be something i will forget tomorrow, I wish to not suffer anymore in the present. Rather i shall live for the moment, forget about my past and the future. For today, i will live and be thankful that i got to sleep sound, eat well and breathe another moment.
