Its a very strange thing but somehow the future me always wins over the present me. Haven't understood? I'll explain. Just as I start doing something I start wondering how will it affect the future me , I mean me six months or one year or 10 years hence. At times i have also given up the happiness of 'me the now" for "me the then" and the weirdest thing is that when "me the then" arrived I was either not interested in that thing which I was saving for myself, or it was just no longer there or I had just plain forgotten all about it!!! So much for careful postponing and pandering to the "me the then".
One fine day I also realised that "me the then" is also very fickle, she may not come at all!!! Why do I love "me the then" more than "me the now"?? I have no idea but perhaps it makes me feel that if I postpone lot of happiness for "me the then" I'll be perfectly happy "then" but somehow this concept(largely learnt from our pleasure stifling society) is not working for me.
And this new year this is my resolution--------------- To make "me the now" happy!! Cheers to that!

'Me the then' appears to be more alluring as it is totally in the realm of your thought. it is what one idealises and thus generates the image, like a character created by an author. It lacks all complications and not-so-desired aspects attendat to reality i.e. 'one the now'. so the obviuos allure. In my view, once u shed getting drawn to this imagery of 'then', the 'now' is as, or even more, fascinating than the 'then'.
