Some say; the Present is based in the Past and adjusted by the Future

Do you agree?

If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other people's thinking.

Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, for time is short.

Thanks for the advice; you are right. But I asked about the connection of Past;Present and Future.

I had to reflect on this for a short time and with my interpretation of the statement, I agree.

The Present is the here and now, how I choose to live in this moment. The past will always be there, unchanged, however to reflect upon, to learn and grow from...so in a matter of speaking, who I am in this moment can be based from the past. And the Present can be adjusted by the future in that if I would like to strive for something, I will adjust the things I am doing in the here and now, in order to obtain that.

The top says " Topic: Time and Life "

Perhaps " PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE " would have been more,
you know ??

You got me confused intentionally ??
Not really

Perfect! an excellent analysis of the statement. I like it; simple and clear

Thank you!

since time flows forward,, it makes perfect sense to me,,,

.yes.. yesterday my past.. I drink too much wine now today my present ..I'm hungover and on the couch. Direct cause of my past.. and if I don't get off this couch and get some work done... my future won't look bright...lmao

No.
Because while you canna get to the Present without
having journeyed through the Past, the Present canna
be adjusted by the unknown (the Future.)

So, if you know the future there has already been a past?
How's the feet soufie?

I am going to say they are better every day,
thank you for asking :-)

(I am on Season 5, Ep3 of Foley's War, how many Seasons are there??)

one learns from the past...do better at present...thus expect a very different future

Not as phrased above. The present is certainly a direct RESULT of what came before, with the exception that some entirely new things do happen. Evolution is based in large part on spontaneous mutations.

Adjusted by the future? Nope. Again, not as phrased. My CONCERN about a POSSIBLE future, might lead me to make a decision in the present, but that's not the ACTUAL FUTURE influencing me, it's my IMAGINATION of the future which takes place in the Present, that leads to my decision making.

A couple of other points: there's the actual past, and I don't imagine that that changes, but then if you get picky about it, the past doesn't even exist any more. Only our memory of it, and the results of what did happen that are still around us. However, our memories of the past can and do change, not only in each individual, but because we have to tell each other about what happened in the different parts of the world, THOSE stories can change.

Some of us have had to deal with delusional or duplicitous people, and so we might have an entirely false "past" that we thought happened, and which we slowly discover did not.

Don't mean to overthink this, it's just that it has played a huge part in my own ...past.

Thanks for your "analytical comment"; it's appreciated. I prefer to read it only; no comment.

Until now; all users clearly understand my original phrase; they have commented in a simple way.

yes agree!
