There’s a song in “Muppets Take Manhattan” (a movie) called “Saying Goodbye”. In it, Scooter says, “Saying goodbye, why is it sad? It makes us remember all the good times we had.”
Someone should drop-kick Scooter. Idiot.
The past is not more important than the present. Having memories of your friends is not as important as being with your friends right now. He’s one of those people who’ll be happiest when he’s 95 years old and sitting in a rocking chair looking at pictures of 70 years ago, enjoying those times more than he had when he was actually living them. Idiot.
Having memories and enjoying past times with your loved ones matter. But don’t forget to enjoy the present, too. Living in the past is as destructive to you as living in the future. You live now. Living is an action verb, like swimming and walking and loving. Live now, because no matter where your head is, now becomes then very quickly.
