Albert Camus

i'm reading The Monk Who Sold His Farrari by Robin Sharma -

came across a quote from Albert Camus ( of all people):

"Real generosity towards the future consists of giving all to what is present"...

a spiritual principle; living and abiding in the present; in the present Presence...

and not pining for the past (good old days) or constantly projecting into the future...

both are forms of escapism from the reality of the present...
