"過去と未来は現実の幻想であり、それらは現在存在しているものであり、それが存在するすべてであることに気づいた。"
— Alan Watts

Simplified Meaning:
The idea is that thinking about the past or worrying about the future are just tricks our minds play on us. The only thing that truly exists is the present moment we are living in right now. For example, if you keep thinking about a mistake you made last week, you might feel sad or regretful. But that mistake belongs to the past and can't be changed; what really matters is what you do today. Similarly, worrying too much about something that might happen tomorrow can make you anxious, even though it hasn't happened yet. By focusing on what you can do right now, you make the best use of your time and energy. So, it's important to stay in the present and make the most of today.
