« You can be the victim of repeated theft of consciousness. Our time is characterized by "attention theft": interruptions in advertising, phone calls, SMS or e-mails, but also the habit of "availability", which has become a modern value. Unavailability and withdrawal can certainly cause problems, but to be always ready to interrupt everything to respond to any form of solicitation, is it not so absurd? In any case, this can lead to the fragmentation of our attentional abilities: the possibility of "zapping" if something does not suit us and thus changing our ideas will ultimately lead to no more ideas at all. We have talked about it, these constant demolitions of our attentional abilities induce a disturbance of our inner balances and our moods, which ends up being harmful to us. »

« We often miss out on our lives. So often, we don't have to be in what we do! To be next door... Next to our happiness. All those Sundays where we think about Monday and we do not enjoy rest and his loved ones. Then those Mondays when we regret not having enjoyed our rest, and so we are not available for what we have to do; then we do it with difficulty and without pleasure. This leads to delays, complications, displeasure, and unpleasant new moods. Besides the little things not important. Whenever we don't listen to what we're told, where we're absent, elsewhere. Every time you don't know where you've put something away. All the times we went somewhere without thinking about it, in "autopilot." We arrive and we realize that we walked or led in a second state, in another universe: not in reality but in our states of mind. Next to the important moments. How many weddings, ceremonies, "great moments" crossed in a second state, where we focus on everything but the essential: the present moment. Because our mind is cluttered with so many things and worries that we are not able to control or dismiss. At times, it is almost our whole life that takes the habit of flowing like this, out of us, next to us, in front of us. And we follow by trotting behind, trying to pick up the pieces, and make them a coherent construction after the fact, by putting together memories, photos, and scattered reflections. We are victims of the remanence: the moment before devours the present moment. Or anticipation and worry: the next moment occupies our thoughts. The present moment no longer exists: drowned in nothingness. But to miss the present, is it not to miss out on one's life? »

« Accepting what is, inhabiting reality; then decide and act. But not: to refuse what is, to dream of what is not, to flee from the real; then suffer and suffer or act in an absurd and impulsive manner. »
