“Time passes in moments… moments which, rushing past define the path of a life just as surely as they lead towards its end. How rarely do we stop to examine that path, to see the reasons why all things happen, to consider whether the path we take in life is our own making or simply one into which we drift with eyes closed. But what if we could stop, pause to take stock of each precious moment before it passes? Might we then see the endless forks in the road that have shaped a life? And, seeing those choices, choose another path? Or, what if there was only one choice and all the other ones were wrong? And there were signs along the way to pay attention to.” - Scully (X-Files)

I suppose that while you are reflecting on those past moments, “the moment” is passing you by. It’s probably a better idea to think of the present that is “filled” with the past, yet points to the future.

I agree to an extent. The moment is where the action is but I think an unexamined life is also not living. Not dwelling on the past, but just learning from it.
