Philosophy of Life

This Essay shows how I think people should live, and the Necessities to do so. This quote is from Buddha "Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment". I think this a good quote that shows how I and other people should live, because if you dwell in the past on relationships, or things that you did for too long you won't be able to move forward in life which is needed if you want to make new relationships, and if you dream of what the future will bring to you too often you'll forget what is at hand, it's best to focus on what you are doing.

The reason why people should live like this is that if you have a job or do something that you like you wont end up turning to alcohol or drugs to feel good about yourself.
