Time

The first  words that are read by seekers of enlightenment (…) are when they look into The Life of Wen the Eternally surprised.
The first question they ask is: 'Why was he eternally surprised?' And they are told: 'Wen considered the nature of time and understood that the universe is, instant by instant, recreated anew. Therefore, he understood, there is in truth no past, only a memory of the past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. Therefore, he said, the only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.'

from "Thief of Time" by Terry Pratchett. Hidden between extremely dry wit and absurdities this book has stunningly beautiful views on how we live in time. And death by chocolate. Simply said, it's fucking Coehlio (spread that word, we'll get more into it later).
