Alan Watts speaks on the only true reality that we that we actually ever have; the present moment now. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

"Because man has a strong memory, he is able to bear the past in mind and as it were cast it forward into visions of the future, based upon what has happened in the past and therefore, although this facility gives man the most extraordinary ability to plan his life, to prepare for future eventualities. At the same time there is a very heavy price which he pays for it.

And especially if he takes this ability too seriously, in other words, if he  doesn't realise that the true reality in which he lives, is the present moment now. Because we actually spend most of our time and a great deal of our emotional energy living in time which is not here. Living in an elsewhere, which is not concretely real. Because it is of very little use to us, to be able to control and plan the future unless we are capable, at the same time, of living totally in the present." ~ Alan Watts
