Just saw the Dali Lama's take on this subject on Facebook yesterday:

I don't feel that that observation is true..
Many people "live in Today" or live in the moment for Today, without ever giving the future a single thought..
They live their lives as if they won't be living tomorrow (IE spend like there is no tomorrow)..
They become slaves to the next day when they wake up in the morning..
Each day getting a bit further behind..
The cycle CAN be broken, if they want a better life, but most who are in that position are perfectly happy with the mess they live in..
Because they don't know better.. Or in some cases just don't care.
