Have you ever tried to explain time?

Look at it this way, which is longer? The past, present, or future?

On one hand, one might consider that the future is longest, because it stretches into infinity. The past would be next, because it stretches to that ambiguous "beginning." Then the present, which is but a fleeting moment, because as each nanosecond passes, the last one is added to the past.

Ok, so now let me submit this: Neither the past nor the future exist at all. We cannot revist the past. The future is always just that, in the future, we never actually get there. Because of this, the present is infinite in size. The moment we live in now is eternal, because all we can ever live in is this moment. We can plan for a future which may or may never come, we can dote on a past that doesn't really exist... even though it may have shaped who we are and how we react.

Now, let me add space into the equation. This moment is infinitely large, because this moment I'm writing this... this moment you are reading this, thousands millions of people are doing something, in this moment.

Just thinking about how awesome the notion of time is threatens to blow my mind! I mean, when I look at this way, how can I not live in the moment? How can I not appreciate what I have? How can I not act, instead of thinking about acting?

What an inspirational epiphany!
