“The future comes slowly,
the present flies and the past
stands still forever.”

Yes, I agree. We can predict the future, change the present but the past will remain the past.
As long as the past stays in the past and the future doesn’t repeat it I am happy with the present.

Great quote. People are always looking to what comes next, but tend to memorialize the past
Why is that? We do things and think in ways, about time, that only make us crazy. Today should have the most important place in our heads and hearts.
The past is forever unchanged but the only time we can change is the present.
True, we can’t change the past but we can use it to make the present better.
I guess it depends on what I am currently doing. I find fun moments seem forever in the coming and pass too quickly in the present but remain forever distilled in my memory. Then again painful moments particularly the ones I anticipate arrive in a blink seem to last forever in the moment and keep rising up from the past to bite me again.
The older I get the present becomes a stronger part of life with the future not so worrisome as it once was and the past remembered but not as consuming as it used to be. But then there are days when the previous sentence means little and makes no sense.
I totally get that. Yesterday was a day when those first sentences made no sense. I was consumed by the past and worried about the future and unable to settle in the present.
The imperfect life while being perfected can be difficult. 🙂
Yes indeed.
