When do you seek for something? When you don’t have it.
You seek power, because you feel powerless within.
You seek money because you feel poor within.
You seek god because you feel ungodly within.
You seek happiness because you are unhappy right now.
When you are seeking for something it means that you don’t have it right now. That sometime in the future is when you will be attaining it. A future that never comes.
All that exists is the present moment. Only the herenow exists. All that matters is what is.
What was and what will be are non-existential.
