This quote comes from Portuguese writer José Saramago's bestselling novel "Blindness" and poses a rhetorical question about living in the moment. It reminds us that there is more to being a good person than trying to minimize regrets. Too often we worry about doing the right thing in a tough situation, rather than trying to make an honest sincere effort. If a friend suffers a lot, for example, we might fret over whether it's good manners to buy them flowers or send a card. We may worry about crossing some boundary and offending them. These anxieties come from a place of love, but ultimately they can hinder us from showing our true feelings.
Today, as Saramago instructed, try not to hold back. Be sincere in your thoughts and actions to day, and nobody will be able to judge you tomorrow.
