Looking for reason and finding it missing.

In a before vs after side by side comparison of present sense you may not think that mutual relevance would be helpful in choosing pretty much anything, least of all happiness.

From a rational perspective being present is paramount to our perception of choices available and deciding what we do with the choices we have are nothing more than well established patterns of behaviour embedded as second nature, mostly during early childhood development, and engrained into our psyche as habits of convention, making the choices we choose as much about our lifetime of experience as what we consider to be in our best interest. From a present sense perspective mutual relevance entrain the flow of cocreative confluence that manifest change regardless what we think, believe, or want and need or expect. From a presence shared intent any choice we choose to share in the flow of creation entangle Nature's shared intent to manifest the present in the interest of mutual relevance.

Whereas the notion of living live well and sharing the present intent may not sound like much from a point of view that believe in suffering the promise of a life hereafter, and lost in the dissonance and angst we vest in heeding the status quo of convention more than enough reason we don't believe in mutual relevance or make our choices based on the fun to be had or the pleasure we share rather than what we expect as reward. Accepting life as mutual pleasure in lieu of a belief that life is a struggle is a tough sell if you have a lifetime of experience that prove the contrary, but you must confess that the idea of living life without want or need, or any care in the world sounds a lot like living in paradise before Adam and Eve reputedly squandered the promise by sharing the forbidden fruit. 

From a conscious aware of exalted nature of sharing the present in the flow of Nature's confluence you'd be a fool to choose anything but, and blind not to see how much more able we become by sharing it intent.

Imagine how much more we'd be capable if we act intent and share the present in sense rather than the fallacy of our staying ahead and keeping abreast of the rest mindset, or abiding in reason that rely on who we believe and what we've been told. If living life well would imply that you forfeit any advantage you may claim as your right or reward, consider the elated relation of mutual relevance we share intent, or believe that there's more to be had than meets the eye you're right, and welcome to join us in a present that celebrates your presence regardless who you are or what you've done. The present is perfect regardless. And since living life well is as shameless and unselfish as any pious servitude and sharing it intent feels better than anything anyone can promise. But for the promise of life after death there's no reason whatsoever for trusting in someone else's promise when the present delivers on all we may want or need you'd be glad you did, and more than welcome when you do. 

Until then Adieu.
