The future is an insidious thing.
It has a way of sneaking up on us, just one moment at a time, one hour, one day... little things, they change, unnoticed, hidden. Then one day we look back and wonder how we got to 'this' place, it's not where we planned to be... it's not safe...
It's safer to live in the moment, safe, under cover. It's an animal contentment, satiation, secure.
It takes effort to choose, you have to take chances.

I never thought of Newton as a psychologist before.

This is true indeed. Nothing will change before we change ourselves.
There have been moments in my life where I have felt this way, but truly the issue I have been having lately is learning to live in the moment, and to stop over analyzing the future and the past. I think too much of either looking ahead and forward, and too much of dwelling only in the now can have negative effects. Balance is always key.
