Man…who lives in three places — in the past, in the present, and in the future — can be unhappy if one of these three is worthless. Religion has even added a fourth — eternity.

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
About This Quote

When religion is mentioned, it is easy to think of religion as something only people with faith in religion can relate to. However, that is not even close to the truth. Religion permeates every area of our lives and affects us on a daily basis. Take, for example, how some people live in the past.

When they reminisce about the good old days of their youth, they really live in the past. Young people often get caught up in the present and lose sight of the things that are around them. They do not look ahead or consider what lies ahead of them.

Just like religion, what lies ahead of us is the future. The only way to truly live in the present is to live in the future too. So let us take a look at what lies ahead of us and move forward into that new day.
