Quote of the Day by Avicenna: There are quotes that make us pause for a moment, and then there are quotes that quietly change the way we look at life. The reflection by Avicenna belongs firmly in the second category. At first glance, it seems philosophical, even mysterious. But the more you think about it, the more it begins to describe everyday life. Much of what we call "time" is actually our mind moving between yesterday's memories and tomorrow's hopes. The present, meanwhile, often slips away unnoticed.
Nearly a thousand years ago, Avicenna understood something that modern psychology and neuroscience continue to explore today, our experience of time is deeply connected to how we think.
