Sigmund Freud on experiencing the present moment
Is Freud suggesting that 'to be here now' is
either not possible or is being in a state of uncertainty and not
knowing the meaning of your daily actions? Being spontaneous would then
need to be considered reckless....
Freud and his Chow Chow
In
general people experience their present naively, as it were, without
being able to form an estimate of its contents; they have first to put
themselves at a distance from it - the present, that is to say, must
have become the past - before it can yield points of vantage from
which to judge the future.
