HAZ

Puedo ser predecible, encajar perfectamente en el pedazo de realidad de un presente cualquiera. Estar a la altura de las expectativas de no importa quién, ser tan grande y tan chico, tan suyo y tan ajeno como cualquiera quiera que yo sea. No me molestan las cadenas que tantos ponen en mi, ni las definiciones aventuradas que a primera vista escapan de los recién llegados.

We are living in a culture entirely hypnotized by the illusion of time, in which the so-called present moment is felt as nothing but an infinitesimal hairline between an all-powerfully causative past and an absorbingly important future. We have no present. Our consciousness is almost completely preoccupied with memory and expectation. We do not realize that there never was, is, nor will be any other experience than present experience. We are therefore out of touch with reality. We confuse the world as talked about, described, and measured with the world which actually is. We are sick with a fascination for the useful tools of names and numbers, of symbols, signs, conceptions and ideas.

—Alan Watts (via lucifelle)
