Because living in the moment is fun.

and it doesn't stop you from bettering humanity and all the other things you want to do.

being able to have fun while reaching your goals is something that should make you feel empowered, as you called it.

humans can change their nature, animals cant. and i agree we should focus on our humanity, as it makes sense. however, if you suppress your instincts too much they will fight back. instead you have to overcome them. however, this is something only for you, other people may choose their own path, or their own ways.

imagination...

also ww2, i don't mean you cant have fun. i mean to say that.. the human mind is stupid. it always wants more. you can't expect to live a life of euphoria no matter how hard you try. what's more likely, is a dull life that gets repetitive

i propose individuals dedicate their life to a certain path, and have fun while they are on that path.. make the best of the path your on instead of choosing not to have a path at all.

I can understand the allure of living in the moment and i think it's healthy to indulge in that sometimes.

Everything comes at a price, indulging now only means work later. It's a simple concept really, work hard and play hard. You can treat it like an investment of sorts. I can tell you if I would've just lived in the moment, I wouldn't be able to have as much fun as I do now. Workaholics and ambitious people want to live in the moment, it's just more fun when your wealthy and established.

I'd rather go through the extra effort then to just be okay with the money i earn. I don't want to wait until I'm 65 to retire.

sing it systematic!

For you peeps arguing that you feel empowered because you live in the moment, I don't understand it. You're just being animals. This Earth has a life-span, as does the sun, and possibly even our society. We as Humanity need to unite, and give ourselves a direction, and that direction must be our survival well into the future, and that can only be accomplished by people who dedicate their lives to bettering Humanity, instead of socializing for the sake of socializing, sex, pets, hourly-job work, and all the other little distractions people who "Live in the moment" create for themselves. 

I don't give the future much thought unless there's a situation where I really have to. I live for myself, in the here and now, because my survival in the here and now is the only thing that matters. That's just the way I am. The way my mind works.

Reaper, I'm sure my mind would LOVE to gamble, and take drugs too, but I know that the human mind has weaknesses, we can consciousness choose to navigate around them.. in this case, not taking drugs, and not gambling my monies lol

Taking drugs and gambling are choices. You can easily choose not to do them. They're not a character trait that exists as part of your personality.

The way I am is the way I've been my entire life. I didn't just suddenly wake up one day and decide to stop thinking about the future and start living in the moment. Of course, I'm not saying it can't be done, but I have never been one to plan ahead.

Obviously, I do have the ability to plan ahead when I really need to, but thinking about the future is not something that comes naturally to me. That's why I'm impulsive and so disorganized most of the time. I'm resourceful though and very much an opportunist, which is beneficial.

I'm not going to sit here and prove to you how happy I am.

I'm just going to ask that you won't make assumptions on things you aren't well informed on or entirely understand.

 Request denied. : )

I don't entirely understand 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of just about everything.  No one does.  And without reasonable assumption, what are we?  Plants?  Even animals make assumptions.  That's how conscious creatures function.

As for your refusal to "sit here and prove to me how happy you are", go for it.  Stand in cantankerous silence, my defensive compadre.  I asked for no explanations.  Nor would I decline one, if you offered.  Perhaps you are happy.  I'm fully aware that I don't know you.  I was commenting on how you come across, only as something to consider if I happened to be right.  (Still not convinced I'm wrong, but the ball's in your court, if you feel like picking it up.)

Now go on and spread your rainbows and sunshine, smileykins. : 3
