Why do you choose that?
Is the others not so important for you to pick?
What's the implication of your own life then?

Present is the most important.
You need the past to evaluate and understand the present and maybe the future too. If you look too much to the past tho, your ability to change and to accept new theories and such will be poor. Past is nice, but not necessary. If you live in the past (cant stop mourning for instance) you miss out on your present and future life.
Present is now. What you do. Present has allways been at one point and what happened in present is eventually the past. What happens in present will be foundations of the future in some ways too. It is now you have the possibility to choose your action. Now.
The future is not yet lived. It is only predictable to some degree. When we are able to predict the future it is due to what has happened in the past - or in the present. If we live for what we look forward to, we may also miss out on the present life. It is good tho, to have something to look forward to; vacation for instance. A child birth - which is our future.

Past. The best times of my life are from past experiences...obviously...but I love having the memories of family members I don't see anymore of all the happy times that were shared. The reason I choose the past for the most part is because of what is going on in my life right now...lets just say things aren't at the peek of happiness lol. So therefor I just (if I had the choice would go back rather than forward) like thinking of happier times rather than dwelling on the unfourtunate things that are happening now so the past is more important. You also learn from things that have happened in the past and you can think of how you did things back when and compare them to how you do things now...whether the choices made back then are better than the ones you make now, it depends on that individual person. I didn't choose the present because I like I said above things aren't exactly a bunch of roses at the moment (my own fault) but there is always the hope that things will get better and the thought of being able to move on with life. The future I actually sort of struggled with the Past and the Future because I do believe the future is important what is in store for my life and the lives of others is obviously...unknown but yes it is important. Nothing like thinking of things to come and what will be and what might not. It could be happy it could be sad...I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

The present is all you have, as it encompasses the past and leads to the future. You cannot change the past, but you can possibly change the future by the actions taken in the present. The past is only important to learn from, so that it might help in the future through the present ever moving moment. So the present becomes the foundation for the future, in so far as we make choices. The future is unknown, but it can be helpful to look ahead to a point in time to see where the present may be leading. But the NOW is all we really have, and true wisdom to live in that moment.

Our past is the most important thing because it's the thing which builts your present and future.
My past has been destroyed which made myself an unhealthy boy and I kind of regret what I've been through.
Changing the past is changing the present and future, right? I would change my past to get a better future.
if you change the future, will the hurt you've gotten changed or forgotten? No... Pain remains if you ever had a bad opportunity to try it... but by changing the past, you may modify the future .

Past is already over. Present I am already enjoying. Future I dont know but it would come even without my choosing . My PAST and PRESENT are both important because based on it only I am what I am and HOPEFULLY look forward to FUTURE

The present, because it's all you ever really have...right here, this very moment. The past is gone and the future is not guaranteed. It's the basis of Buddhist practice, called "being awake" or "practicing mindfulness". By paying attention to the present moment we are able to experience life to the fullest.

I think the future is the most important. You take what you learned in the past and use the present to create your future. Your future is where your life is going and without it there is nothing. So definitely future........

Present. We can't change the past or predict the future. So live in the now. I'd chose the present. I live my life one day at a time and have no regrets.

Future is most important but its importance is in present because in present we make future according to the experiments that we had in the past.
but if i should choose one, i will choose past to rectify my mistakes,because by then ,my present will be different and and my thoughts too and also furture(it depends on past experiments).
Dont forget one thing :if you choose any of them,it will always be "present"
(present is present and past was once present and future one day will be present)

i have to say the future because what you go through in the past you learn from good and bad mistakes in your life so you can look forward to the present. when you look at the present you know what are you plans for the future.
