Ah, what a web we weave with the words we say.
Have you ever experienced a time when it wasn't now?
It is always now, isn't it?
Wake up in the middle of the night and have to use the bathroom and it is now.
When isn't it now?
The past is always gone,
and the future is never here.
It is always now
We can only experience now, and this is all that language is
capable of saying. There is no way to make the meaning that language creates make sense of being in the past instead of now, or of being in the future,(before anything has happened)
instead of now.
The past and the future are created because there is a distance that 'what we call our mind' must travel between happenings.
Again, it is always now, and neither the past or the future could make any linguistic sense were we not embedded, as far as language goes, in the now.
Language is the channel: we are the water that flows in this river we call life.

Time is broken up between the past, present and future. The past we recall through memory and the future we imagine through fantasy. Time is the transition of the future into the past. The past is no longer, while the future is not yet, leaving us only with the present. This is rather paradoxical, while we exist in the present, we are unable to identify a single moment as the "present". Secondly, the past and future constitute the overwhelming majority of time, while the present is merely an infinitesimally small amount of time - seemingly indicating that time is only comprised of the future and the past. The present in a sense implicitly acts as a catalyst for the transition from future to past.

I agree with first one only "Real" the Karma means duty and only duty.
The past is the base of "real" the Karma and the future is the result of it. Dream is nothing more than imagination where as past & future are not at all immagination, present what looks was a past and what looks would certainly become future. This cycle only reminds us to be truthfull to our presnt, knowing the realty of past and causouse about future, and if this much is remembered we can zero the conflicts amongst.

The present is real, the past is a dream, and the future is what you make of it.
It makes me think of living in the now. Your past fades as you live in the now. Right now is the most important. What you do today helps to shape your future possibilities as well as make your dreams of the past pleasant!

The present is real, the past is a definite dream and the future is indefinite dream.

The past is only a memory which I experience in the present. The future is only my imagination which I only experience in the present. I see no evidence of either the past or present being part of my experience other than as a memory or as anticipation of a future event which is only experienced in the present moment.

Time only exists in the past. The present is just a loci on the past. Future time is speculative.

The present is a dream too. Pay attention.
