buddhist memories real
If my happiness at this moment consists largely in reviewing happy memories and expectations, I am but dimly aware of this present.

If, then , my awareness of the past and future makes me less aware of the present, I must begin to wonder whether I am actually living in the real world.

Whenever we witness what is on the one side, its opposite side will be in darkness.
