Buddhism emphasizes caring about the future without being consumed by it. Suffering arises from craving and aversion, where worry is a grasp for control and resistance to fear. The uncertainty of the future is a constant, and believing one can completely eliminate risk through planning is misguided. Worry does not prepare for challenges but detracts from the present moment of life. There is a struggle between the necessity for planning in work and the power of being present, particularly noted in creative fields like filmmaking.
Buddhism teaches that while we should care about the future, we should avoid living in it. The tension between planning and presence can be challenging.
Suffering comes from craving and aversion. Worry and the desire for control do not prepare us for the future; they only rob us of the present moment.
