This is one of the quotes from Jim Morrison that I mentioned in yesterday's post. Today, I wanted to go over it in a bit more depth.
I think Morrison was referencing a way of thinking about life, or a certain perception- that your future is never guaranteed, therefore it's always uncertain. However, an end (while still uncertain, yes) can come at any time without warning... so it always seems far nearer than the hypothetical future. It's an interesting quote, if you re-read it a few times and take the time to genuinely think it through. I was taught from a very young age that the future is uncertain. In fact, one of the best lessons my dad has ever taught me is to never go to bed upset with someone, because you never know if either of you (or the world in and of itself) will make it through the night. The end is always near. There's no guarantee that tomorrow will ever come. I've carried this lesson with me through life, and it has led me to how I tend to think today... about not taking moments for granted and living in the moment and accepting life as what it is. If you go back to my post about my 5 life mottos, I actually talked briefly about how worrying about the future is pointless because it's not even guaranteed... and that worry can only result in you overthinking the future situation and making things worse for yourself. That aside, regretting the past is just as pointless because it can't be changed. I really think a lot of people have a hard time accepting that, and it's sad. In any case, I've strewn a bit from the quote I started with... but I think I've made my point. - Maddie
