Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?
Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The more you use it, the faster it unrolls. Pretty soon, there’s nothing left.
Kids are always looking forward to the future.
But the more one ages, the less inclined they are to scrutinize the future. The Past becomes the go to place. Nostalgia overtakes the best of us. The future becomes nebulous, nefarious even.
For the future is a dark place where one loses one’s independence and with it, one’s agency.
I spend most of my time preparing for a future I may never get to enjoy. I prefer to make the best arrangements for my offspring, my wife and my mother.
I use the present, if the present even exists, I use it to make sure they have a future, so that they may spend it thinking about a past made possible by their father, husband, son.
I don’t have the luxury to dwell on the past. I’m a Man. My sight is over the learning horizon, scrutinizing it for potential danger.
The Past informs my actions about the Future. No more, no less.

As we age, time appears to pass more quickly, partly because we have fewer novel experiences and the world around us becomes more familiar. However, we can slow down our perception of time by exposing ourselves to new experiences, traveling to new places, meeting new people, and learning new skills. These activities can help us expand our experience of time and create more lasting memories.
