Should we live in the moment? Not treat each day with reckless abandon, but rather see the memory of each day as the dividend on how we lived that day, and the future as the portent of this same day. 

This talk is a discourse on the philosophy of the past, present and future with particular reference to Fernando Pessoa's, The Book of Disquiet.

Sam postulates that you should not live in memory or anticipation, but in the moment. This is not to say that you treat the day with reckless abandon, as the memory of your day is the dividend on how you have lived that day, whilst the future is the portent of this same day.
