    The present ain't looking too great either. :/

    Too often we focus on the "there" instead of the "here". Here and now. That's the place and time to be

    Here and there ain't looking all that good as well. It's all around.

    Where is "here" for you?

    Living and watching

    Ok, we're on the same page. Often people will think of here as their country or general surroundings, and not themselves. So you're going through a rough patch? I'm sorry to hear that. Still, even in the worst situations, being deep in the here and now can give peace and patience so that the bad times will seem to pass by more quickly

    No, not necessarily, as it's everywhere else as well. The world literally. I'm saying living and watching because I, and many others, are basically being told to sit on our hands as the world is being set on fire. Nothing I can do, and the ones saying they're "saving the world" are the ones setting the world on fire. :/

    Oh, but then we're not on the same page, because the world is not here, it's there. The point of this here and now concept and the OP comic strip is that we spend too much time thinking about things that we can't do anything about, such as the future, the past and what's going on elsewhere. That is terrible for our mental health. Whereas anchoring ourselves in our selves, body and immediate surroundings gives peace and well-being

    It's also affecting here, because being oblivious is not something of my forte. It's not something I can turn off. My immediate surroundings are tampered with anyways, and being self-absorbed is not something that's going to help it at all. I, myself, am not something I can deal with, regardless of what I do, and the things that can are unavailable. Mental disability makes that even worse (which I will not go into).

    I'm not talking about being self-absorbed, though, just the ability to turn the ole noggin off more often instead of going over the same things again and again. Still, it's easier said than done, it takes a lot of commitment and you might not be interested in such a thing, but I think it's an amazing possibility
