“Suppose you come to a cinema, to a movie, to A to a movie, and down there you look up here on the screen and there's a story. There are people in the screen that are interacting with each other and down there you cry. You believe that what is happening on the screen is real and that is why you shed a real tear and you have real emotion. The suffering is real, the tear is real. But when you come up and you touch the screen, you don't see any per person. It's only light, flickering light. You cannot talk to people, you cannot invite them to, to have tea, you cannot stop them, you cannot ask a question, because this is not real, this is only a movie, something not real and yet can create real suffering. The memories of the past are not real, are not reality, they are only pictures. And every time you watch the picture, you suffer. And that is why we are advised not to go back to the past and live in the past, get caught in the past. And that is part that's part of the practice of living in the present moment.” – Thich Nhat Hanh
