Pause for a moment. Do not listen, do not think, do not experience anything but the moment, the minute. Accomplish this and you may just figure out the human condition. The minutes. We live for the minutes. And should we realize this, take a minute to realize that we only live for each minute, then we all might live a little easier, or perhaps, a little longer. Human nature and the speed limit of society require an individual to bite off much more than is healthy. One is expected to plan in years, a long way from a minute.
There are over half a million minutes in a year, over half a million chances to live, because we live for the minutes. Why do we live for the minutes? Well, much can happen in a minute. A life, a death, a marriage proposal, the answer, an important decision made or not made. So many things are decided in a sixty-second time frame. We live for the minutes. A moment to ponder, to calm down, to get a grip, to think, to form an opinion, or simply a moment to enjoy occur simultaneously every sixty seconds.
We live for the minutes. Of course one must consider the future, but we do not live in the future, or the past. We live in a minute both figuratively and literally. Figuratively because our lives are so brief in this universal timeline. Literally because we do live in the present, minute by minute. Therefore relax, refuel, and live for the minutes.
