Going with the flow

Imagine that your whole world is turned upside down. Imagine that all of your freedom is lost. Where ever you go someone is watching you. At first you cared now you just chill and relax like everything is fine. It dosnt matter if the world around you stopped Turing. It dosnt matter that everything you have worked so hard for dies. All that matters is now. I find this scary because now can be a scary place. Think about it, if you have a gun pointed to your head and all of a sudden you think about how you could get out. You think about the lamp and how you might be able to reach it and hurt him. This is the future. We don't think about the now. However at a less dramatic experience like a roller coaster we don't nescary think about the laundry that we need to get done tonight. Instead you are typically in the now. Why is this? Is it because sometimes reality is too scary to face or is it because you don't have time to think about the laundry when you are going upside down? That and you don't plan to get out when you are also upside down. Maybe its because the brain can sense danger and takes in the soundings and knows when you are in real danger and then your instincts take over. Now lets say for a second that someone was sitting next to you and told you about the lamp. You probley wouldn't think as hard about then if you came up with the idea itself. So what I want to know is whats scarier the past present or future. Answer this in the comment section cause I would like to have you help me figure this one out cause to be honest I am at a lost for this one.
