"今天感受到昨天的情感并不是感受,而是记得今天感受到的昨天情感,成为今天活着的尸体,感受昨天已体验并失去的情感。"
— Fernando Pessoa
Simplified Meaning:
When we focus too much on past feelings, we aren’t truly experiencing emotions in the present. Instead, we are just remembering how we felt before. This means we might miss out on what is happening right now. Imagine you went on a great vacation last year and keep thinking about how happy you were then. If you keep comparing your current days to that vacation, you might feel like your current life isn’t as exciting, even if good things are happening now. Living in the past can make you feel stuck and unable to fully enjoy new experiences. To live a happier life, try to appreciate what you feel and experience today, without constantly looking back.
