People don't realize that now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The past is a ghost, the future a dream, and all we ever have is now.
To the soul, there is no past and no future; all is, and will be ever, in now. For artificial purposes time is mutually agreed on, but there is really no such thing.
I don't think the human mind can comprehend the past and the future. They are both just illusions that can manipulate you into thinking theres some kind of change.
I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.
For every minute, the future is becoming the past.
The future doesn't exist. The only thing that exists is now and our memory of what happened in the past. But because we invented the idea of a future, we're the only animal that realized we can affect the future by what we do today.
The idea of future or past, either way, is a core part of entertainment. It's something we've always loved as humans. Its part of our psyche, I think.
You do indeed have a past, but not now! And, yes, you have a future, but not now! You can consume your now with thoughts of 'then' and 'maybe,' but that will keep you from the inner peace you could experience.
I believe you can remember the future as much as the past.
The future, like everything else, is not what it used to be.
