Life is so precious and there is nothing on this earth that can replace our lives, yet we cannot own this precious life forever, because it is impermanent. We cannot live in either the past or the future, because the present moment is where... our life truly exits. Most importantly, it is not our past or future which decides our journey, but this present moment which dictates our unseen future journey to unknown places. Thus, this present moment is the most precious and beneficial moment for us. Therefore, every moment of our lives, we should be mindful and aware.
