Daniel: You make a good point about the fact that the overall character of a person's experience is not changed by time. It's important to locate your happiness in the now rather than projecting it to some point in the future (or the past).
It's actually in that vein that I'm suggesting we try to imagine what we want in the world's collective future. In my own life, the happiness of creating the future I want through intention--and then seeing that future unfold--is one of my greatest joys in the present.
My point, essentially, is that even as we are grateful for the things manifesting now, we can envision a future which, while different, is just as good or better. Why shouldn't we?
(I realize now that maybe this should have been posted under Intention-Manifestation. It has to do with values, purpose, and changing the world, though, and this section caught my eye first.)
