Past, Present and Future.
By means of these three related concepts, we classify events of our lives, society and world. We mark an event by freezing the state of world at the time of its happening. In my opinion this approach leads to many fallacies that human kind is now engaged in. Can we really learn anything about a river by building a dam on it? Is it possible to study a dynamic phenomenon by stopping it? My answer is NO. By dividing the time into these three ever-changing slices we gain nothing. When we look back at past events, they seems to be inevitable since we cannot change them in any manner. By looking at the future we find endless possibilities. But these two are nothing but illusions since they are always out of our reach. What we have is present. There is only "Here and Now" that we can interact with. This is our stand point and therefore all of our world view should be built upon it. By channeling our awareness into it we, human kind, should be able to transcend our existence.

What a lot of gobeldegoo. Lots of words joined together to sound clever. But what are you really trying to say? If you know it yourself, then try a different challenge. See if you can explain things in a way that a child of 9 would understand. Now that would need a lot of talents. You have got a point though, it is here and now that we live in but every action has got its reaction and that reaction will carry on for short or long into the future. Therefore only a fool would live his life without considering the cosequences of his actions.
