This is about moments, few seconds of flowing time; either you're experiencing it or you have many of them cherished and not cherished, dark and light in your memory.
When you think about it life is an infinite string of moments: good ones, bad ones, tough ones, happy ones and a lot of other kinds as well. What do you do with those moments ? They're the most precious things in life, never are you going to get one more and you can't have a moment back. So shouldn't we decide how to spend these, very wisely ? :) (No I've no intention of being a personality Guru :) )
I've heard of two main ideas on this: one the more popular- live in the moment. It basically says forget about past and future, concentrate solely on the present. Just enjoy your current moment, do the maximum you can and don't worry too much about how future is going to turn out. The second thought doesn't oppose this it says something bit different: it says nothing. It says that thinking, reflecting about past, your ideas and actions are very vital to being a reflective human, thinking about future is also very important. Very often its the future that inspires us to take action, like studying before a test :) I don't know which of these is correct, most probably it varies a lot from person to person, but a healthy mix of both should about do it.
Now to really start on what I was going to say. We're really funny in one aspect, when someone or something very close to us leaves us what is left to us is a few (or a lot) of moments in our mind, however we've no clear way of knowing which ones will seem the most beautiful, etched in our memory forever. We're clueless here, maybe you think you'll remember the moment you won a trophy in a race (say) but in the end you might end up remembering how the wind felt against your face when you ran that day :)
Some moments, the ones you spent with your loved ones might hurt a little when they're gone but in the end they'll be the only thing you're left with.
Moments connect people, a lot of shared memories are holding together all of us, our families, our friendships and our lives. They might make you sad or happy, but they give you a small reason to live, to push a bit more. Even moments are important for ourselves, because we define ourselves through some moments when we did something which we are proud of. Craziest of all, these moments connecting us, carrying us make up the life.
So only one thing to end with: cherish your moments both big and small. They're going to be with you :)
