The present is where freedom is exercised from "summary" of Time and Free Will (Annotated Edition) by Henri Bergson
The present moment is where we find ourselves fully engaged in the exercise of freedom. It is in this fleeting instant that we are able to make decisions and act upon them, unfettered by the constraints of the past or the uncertainties of the future. It is only in the present that we are truly free to shape our own destinies and determine the course of our lives. When we look to the past, we are bound by the events that have already occurred, unable to change or alter them in any way. Similarly, when we look to the future, we are confronted with a multitude of possibilities and uncertainties that can overwhelm and paralyze us. It is only in the present moment that we are able to break free from the chains of the past and the anxieties of the future, and assert our will upon the world. In the present, we are able to act with spontaneity and creativity, responding to the demands of the moment with agility and grace. We are not weighed down by the burden of past mistakes or future worries, but are able to act decisively and confidently, secure in the knowledge that we are masters of our own fate. It is in the present moment that we are able to truly experience the fullness of life, unencumbered by regrets or fears. We are free to explore new possibilities, take risks, and embrace the unknown with open arms. It is in the present moment that we are able to live authentically and fully, expressing our true selves without reservation or hesitation.- The present moment is where freedom is exercised in its purest form. It is in this fleeting instant that we are able to assert our will upon the world and shape our own destinies. By embracing the present moment and living fully in the here and now, we are able to experience true freedom and unleash the full potential of our humanity.
