See some more perspects --probably the challenge that's put over here is that Time is not an Absolutely Real Dimension as we think .. Even the Past can be changed and also the Presnt and Future ... What we take are the bundles of Omnipresent in Life each moment, we can change the bundle any time, Few can see the longer term effects (past, present and future)of each bundle and few just see the short term effects.. Another example Lord Krishna's childhood was a very mischievous one by normal accepted standards today, but for those who consider Him as an Avatar, they are just Divine Leelas .. So the package of Omnipresent (past, present and future integrated into one, The Omnipresent Bundle changes with changing perceptions and themes and people accept those bundles according to their tastes, What do you say ?

Yes, of course. Aren't we rewriting history books ? Don't we brainwash people to see the past differently ? Isn;t every event of the present throwing a different light on the related past events ? It's all in the mind.

probably baskim is right, its really foolishness to engage too much with the world and its orders, becuse everything ends with death for oneself, the status, the power, the beauty and all those things the senses enjoy, and nobody knows for real what is going to happen to each one the next moment, why should one toy too much with such undependable orders, even then too much clinging to it. even to some of those very deceptive traps of sensory perceptions ... probably this is Maya, The Greatest Illusion as put by Swami Vivekanadan ...
with that illusion, let me just put forward a point or two, imagine a hypothetical condition of going faster than the velocity of light, the observant can observe the same things again .. in the real world take the example of dream state of existence, the observant comes back after traveling may be forward for Many years and then come back, when we come to the very finite observations on time there are missing links and that's why sometimes at the beginning of the year we need to change a second or two backward or forward, so nobody in this world uses Absolute Time as a measure, or THAT can not be measured, so that's a Nothing or Godly and indescrutable. What's used in Today's World is the observed Time and its not devoid of observant and hence not an absolute dimension and subjective ... so philosophically when we derive more into such a concept , probably we can choose our bundles of Omnipresent (the past, present and future integrated into one) ...
luv and SAI RAM,

Past, present, future are the dimensions of a commonman. For an enlightened being, there is only present. "Past" is nothing but a memory recording in your mind and exists only there. Can past be changed? of course, start believing past memories in a different way. Past got changed. How can a child get out of abuse or any person faced traumatic situations? By eracing, or altering the past or by detaching the feeling which got attached with the past. That itself alters the past. Now, you take future. It doesn't exist. But you perceive and it comes. There is a theory by Stephen Hawkins. "Everything happens at the same time" your mind understands that in many dimentions and parts. Krishna, Rama and all stories and people wanted to live in that past non-existent dimension. If you mix so many things, we cannot reach anywhere. Present is the only truth....past and future non existing perceptions. Perceptions are subject to change. But present is not.

Of course... everyone can change his/her past anytime, anywhere.. The past is just in our head... it may be a good or a not so good one. Those bad memories are like garbage... once you look at it again..it stinks! on the other hand happy memories are a good cushion during bad times... whatever happened it the past can't be changed. But past can be changed.. (kinda confusing?) The past does not only covers what happened before. it includes why, when, where, how, which. hehe... you know... that sort of thing.. and also... people can't enter into other people's mind to explore others' past. Past can be changed through lies.... through being optimistic... by forgeting it.... killing some witnesses(jk).... by being a different "you"... (whatever.... it's all in our head... other people wouldn't think 24/7 about one's past.... there's a lot to do in this world than to be nostalgic or whatsoever...)

It's said in metaphysics [dozens of books I've read through my life] that past, present and future are happening at the same time in different dimensions. Also.... always wonder when a week goes much faster than others [happening ALL the time to me now] is it REALLY and we just don't know it, and what it SEEMS actually IS faster.

You have no fathe you empty shell.
You are hindu -(jipsy) ,black race and black too
so your opinion is irelevant but so that you do`nt doo ennything bad (or stupid ) you are poulled by the strings.
Even Earth rejects you, thats why the past is repeating for you and reminds the same over and over and again and even your too bored to exist it`s in your past to too be bored and nothing you can doo about it becose you empty ballon "shell" and the past you exist is the same that ground makes it and while the earth knows its history and future and you are a part of it thair`s nothing else you kan think but your one history over and ôver again its pulling your strings like a pupet with strings. So you can`t change ennything becose you are an empty balloon pupet with strings.
and becose you know that you are empty you are pulled by the strings so that you do`nt doo ennything stupid so that the world make sense that one empty maniak like you is holdet from the leash and is not fre to doo als he pleases in this world becose thair is order and the order must be maintaned als long als it is nesesary.

The proverb says "You cannot step twice in the same river". Every moment is a set of evenst and these events are unique for that moment alone. Time always flow in one direction, i.e. forward. That's why we can't go back in time.

Absolutely not; but then again we can hopefully learn from it and thus avoid repeating the same mistakes over and over again.

the past is set, it's over, finished, done, history.
