Living in the Present Moment

Living in the present moment is crucial for true happiness. Constantly planning for the future leads to perpetual frustration and postponement of life's joys. Making plans for the future is beneficial only for those who can fully immerse themselves in the present. Happiness should come from immediate realizations rather than promises of tomorrow. Understanding and living in the present moment allows a person to die contentedly, having experienced complete moments in life. Giving children a sense of identity defines them, but this can sometimes lead to a superficial sense of self, creating a 'genuine fake' persona.
