6. Live the Moment

6. Live the Moment


Enjoying the gentle sea breeze, lying in a hammock, Sara’s friend wore a dreamy broad smile on his face.

Sara: Why are you smiling all by yourself?

Friend: I’m thinking of the day when I will be truly happy.

Sara (with confusion): And when it will come?

Friend : When I can have a big house of my own by the sea, a comfortable and up to date car, a healthy bank balance, get married to a handsome guy, have three sons, get them educated so that they get a good job, earn a lot of money, and…

Sara (Interrupting): I get the picture, but what will you do after all that?

Friend: Then I can simply put up my feet and relax and enjoy the gentle breeze and the sun on my face at the age of 40, a perfect life of which I always dream.

Sara: But my friend, you are doing that now itself – without having done that entire struggle! And by the way dude, how do you know that you will be 40 or not?
