Living in the moment...

People have said to me, and I have heard it said to others: "Live in the moment and treasure every second"... However, can this really be done?

We all have moments in our lives whether at events, with friends or family or even by ourselves, which we wish we could treasure - live in the moment forever. This unfortunately cannot be done, despite how hard we may try. We live in a temporal sequence which is unstoppable. Time passes similar to how our memories pass and over time may fade. We can however still conjure images, voices and emotions in our mind, but the truth is we can't fully re-live the exact moment, or live in the moment. Every time we experience something we experience it at that exact time, we enjoy it for a split second at that exact time, we feel emotions for it at that exact time, that experience lasted for that exact time. Similar to how things are 'done and dusted', they cannot be changed or re-lived quite as they were, but can only be remodelled using figments of our imagination and guesses to how we felt in the past.

Time is constantly moving, this is inevitable and this is something which we have to face.
