Sometimes we
think about living in the present too long. The disadvantages of the Carpe Diem
mind set has a negative impact and can be seen everywhere in our society.
Instead of sacrificing the present for the sake of the future, we often
sacrifice the future for the sake of the present. Federal spending is one of
the most notorious examples. As a result
of spending money we don’t have today, the average new born comes to this world
owing about fourteen thousand dollars. This mentality of living in the present
and not think or plan for the future is one of the reasons we have so much debt
in our country. Even though we don’t know for sure what is going to happen
tomorrow, we all need to plan for the future and have a more predictable
outcome. The only way we can have a decent future is If we plan on it, and we
put all of our energy on it.
